Did you check (info "(org)Block Agenda") ?

That's the way I would suggest: define a block agenda listing 
the various categories, then use `org-agenda-max-todos' in each
of them to limit the number of TODOs.

I understand defining block agendas is not as straightforward than the
solution you envision, but my feeling is that allowing grouping+limits
will have too much overlap with the block agenda functionality.

Let me know if you find the path to happiness with a combinaison of
block agendas and the new variables.

Thanks,
