is there any way to limit how many can an NPC generator can generate at a time?

You could put the generator on a layer and hide the layer after X generations of NPCs have generated (via math).

I think he means that he wants, say, only 3 spinies to be able to be out of a pipe at once, then after you defeat one or more of the spinies, more would come out and so on. IDK if that would be possible.

If that's the case, it gets a bit more complicated.

A) You need an event that hides the spawner after the time it takes to spawn three enemies.
B) You need an event to show the spawner.
C) You need an event to hide the spawner after the time it takes to spawn one enemy.

Have A start by itself. Have B activate upon the death of an enemy. Have C activate a time after B has occurred via the events window.
