Yes, only one or at best two more, if we are talking by 2020.
My logic is simple construction trends and the time the boats were laid down. The two first serial boats took 6.5 years to float out, and 3-2 years to commission after. Now let us say for the sake of argument that this goes down. I think this is itself questionable since the ships are no longer using ex-971 hull sections, and starting with Knyaz Oleg will have different sail construction and different equipment suit. But let's go ahead and say the total time from laying down to service acceptance becomes 6 years. This automatically disqualifies the 7th and 8th boats, who are planned to be laid down in late 2015. Even if we use our hypothetical schedule, they will only be ready by late 2021, or 2022 effectively.
As for the rest:
Dolgoruki, Nevsky and Monomakh are in service.
Knyaz Vladimir effectively started construction in 2010 IRC, so I am confident it will enter service well before 2020.
The 5th and 6th hulls however were laid down only in mid 2014 and right at the end of the year. They would have to finish construction and acceptance trials within 5 years to to be ready for service by 2020. Let's be realistic here, little points to this suddenly happening. Time to commission won't be held up by Bulava, but I have not seen anything to suggest construction times have drastically decreased (ignoring Dolgoruki as the obvious outlier). More in line with the trend is them commissioning in 2021 or 2022.
