Well, there's no such a property in Apex Administration (at least, I don't know of any).

Documentation says

In an Oracle Application Express development environment, users log in to a shared work area called a workspace. A workspace is a virtual private database that enables multiple users to work within the same Oracle Application Express installation while keeping their objects, data and applications private. This flexible architecture enables a single database instance to manage thousands of applications.

I read it as: "See? No limits!".

Apex Limits contain Development Environment and Component limits, but none of them says anything about number of applications per workspace.

Therefore, I'd say that no, you can't do that.

However, this is Oracle. Apex is bunch of tables, packages etc., all stored in the database. It means that there should be a table that contains those information - I imagine it as a master-detail relationship, WORKSPACE being a master and APPLICATIONS a detail table. I have no idea how are those tables called, but - if you have your own Apex installation, you might try to dig deeply into it, find those tables and create a trigger which would prevent more than (for example) 3 applications per workspace.

Would it affect something else, perhaps even broke Apex? I have no idea, but - if you ever try it, remember to let us know the outcome.

On the other hand, someone else might know better and will be able to assist you.
