You can do this using a "generalized formula." The intuition here is to use the following formula for observed agreement, which uses the number of raters rather than conditionals for specific raters.

$$p_o=\frac{1}{n'}\sum_{i=1}^{n'}\sum_{k=1}^q\frac{r_{ik}(r_{ik}^\star-1)}{r_i(r_i-1)}$$

where $n'$ is the number of items that were coded by two or more raters,

$q$ is the number of possible categories,

$r_{ik}$ is the number of raters that assigned item $i$ to category $k$,

and $r_i$ is the number of raters that assigned item $i$ to any category.

$r_{ik}^\star$ allows you to use a weighting scheme to account for non-nominal categories if desired.
