Thanks!
The short answer to your question is "no": the num_in_admin setting controls the default number of form entry fields in that case. To solve your problem in a neat way, you might want to have a look in django/forms/__init__.py at the InlineObjectCollection class and try to exploit that in a custom manipulator. This isn't documented at all, so you'll have to read the source code and do a bit of experimenting, but it should be possible to get something that works.
