How many Western Roman rump states were there?

The last such rump to fall would appear to be what became Wessex, with the defeat and death of a British king named Natanleod by the Saxons Cerdic and Cynric, in 519 CE.
At some point one must draw a line and claim that all semblance of "Roman rule" has ended, and all that are left are local warlords of no significance. Where that line is drawn is always a matter of opinion. As Britannia was a single province, I chose to draw the line when it's most significant and wealthiest region had fallen, so that no remaining warlords had any semblance of a claim to "Roman legitimacy".

There were several Berber/Roman rump states in North Africa.
One was the Mauro-Roman Kingdom in North Africa from about 429-578.
In one inscription King Masuna described himself as Rex gentium Maurorum et Romanorum, King of the Moorish and Roman Peoples", which indicates his realm was a sort of a Roman rump state.

In another rump state, the Kingdom of the Aures, King Masties ruled from about 426-494 or 449-516; an inscription claims that he ruled for 67 years as a Dux - military leader or duke - and for 40 or 10 of those years as Emperor of "Romans and Moors". A title that reminds me of the Bulgarian title of "Emperor of the Bulgarians and the Romans" or of Stefan Dushan's title of "Emperor of the Serbs and the Romans".

Some of those Roman-Berber rump states may have been conquered by the Kingdom of the Vandals. The Roman Empire reconquered much of North Africa in the Vandalic War in 533.
In the 570s King Garmul of the Mauro-Roman Kingdom attacked Roman Africa and in 577-579 he was defeated and killed. Part of the Mauro-Roman Kingdom was annexed to the Roman Empire and other parts became as many as eight successor kingdoms which might be considered Roman rump states to some degree.

These states were gradually conquered and/or converted to Islam during the invasions of North Africa by the Caliphate from about 647 to 698.
A Queen Dihya (died c. 700) was a famous leader of resistance to the Muslim invaders of Africa.

And of course there were a number of Romano-British states in Britain after 411. The Anglo-Saxon invaders of Britain didn't complete their conquest of those Romano-British states until the conquest of Gwynedd in 1282/83.
