This is a good question. I don't know if there's any rule of thumb. One of the advantages of running multiple instances is that it allows you to provide a more robust environment - one bad instance doesn't cause problems with the other instances. So, you might identify which applications are more likely to cause trouble, and run them in separate instances. Or, you might identify which applications are more important to you, and run those in separate instances, or both. In addition, you can run multiple instances as a cluster of sorts, so that an application is still available even if one of the instances fails. I would think that in this case, you'd only run two instances for each application - if you have stability problems that would indicate you need more, you'd probably be better off identifying and fixing those problems, rather than expending the necessary resources for additional instances.
