Thanks for the pointers.  From latest Org (master branch), you
can now use `org-agenda-max-entries' either as a global option,
or locally in each agenda view.

See the docstring on how to use this option and its friends:

  org-agenda-max-effort
  org-agenda-max-tags
  org-agenda-max-todos

org-agenda-max-effort might be particularily useful in TODO views.

Let me know if this works for you.

As for "grouping", I think this is more about setting agenda views,
sorting options and agenda filters properly -- but I'm open to any
idea on how to improve this (or to make it easier to set.)

Thanks!
