If were going by continental plates don't forget Arabia, Caribbia, Nazca, and Pacifica.

"Continents" is an arbitrary word with zero agreed-upon definition. Depending on where you went to school, there are four, five, six or seven continents. PNG either is or isn't part of Australasia, and New Zealand either is or isn't part of Australasia as well. North and South America are a single continent in some school systems. It's a shambles, but it's never been hammered out because the term isn't super useful to geologists and geographers.

"Continent" is a social construct rooted in nineteenth-century thinking. In fact there is greater variation within the so-called continents than there is between them. The more enlightened among us prefer to use less emotionally-charged terms, such as "geological community" or "cratonicity".

I looked it up out of curiousity so nobody has to. That figure is a little inscrutable but the video context is that Prager believes in an afterlife because otherwise life is meaningless and bad people don't get ultimate punishment / good people don't get ultimate rewards and he would go insane. Also if you are a good person then the concept of no afterlife should make you insane, too! Quite the argument.
