I found these "long lost" Chen sets attributed to Chen Zhao Kui on a Chinese site many years ago:
3rd Road, Duan Quan 24 Posture (which is indeed the name of a set that was originally part of the Chen curriculum):
4th Road, 108 postures set
Also this version of the 108 set
Wang Zhenhua says he learnt the form from Chen Zhaokui. Du Wencai, another disciple of CZK, published a book in early 1990s in which he presented Long Fist in 108 Postures and Short Fist in 48 Postures. He also claimed he learnt them from CZK. There are still people in Shanghai who practice these routines
Then there is the Small Frame style that went back to Hangdong, Shanxi (where the Chen clan is originally from) to find the Chen 108 practiced there:
