First of all: More than 3 notifications are alway confusing. So there must be ways to reduce space-usage. 2. It could be configuratable. 3. If you can hide the notifications per application, it would not be a real problem to indicate that there is another notification. A smaller version could be displayed somewhere inside the item.
