Did you remind your C++ teacher once you gave him the electronic forms? If not, it might help this time around with college recs. If you think you can get him to send them in a reasonable amount of time, it sounds like he will be your stronger letter.

As far as sending extra letters beyond what is mandatory, ONLY do so if they are extremely strong AND add a different dimension to the other rec(s) you have already sent in. College AOs have to read so many recs, they will not appreciate repetition, it is the quality, not the quantity of the recs that counts. I would say that you should at most send in one supplemental rec.
