This list does not mean that there are 54 authors (if we assume that there were only 2 sons of Korah).
The correct number of authors of the Bible is more than 50, and maybe 100.
We do not know the number of chroniclers and scribes who compiled the texts.
Not only authors
There were also translators, co-authors, editors, publishers (scribes).
It was often a team effort.
