That would require too much integration with a bandwidth control system
like tc, or --bwlimit on rsync. But a simple solution would be to allow
host groups, within which you could specify MaxBackups and
MaxUserBackups.

Of course, if you have host groups, you could also have inheritable
templates within the group. Which would rock. Why define a custom
parameter for 40 servers, when you can define it once on the host group?
