If you include projects that are not directly related to your organization, then you are an umbrella organization (and GSoC is fond of you and loves you).

If you have good project proposals, made by good students, and you can find at least one mentor willing to work with this project proposal and this student, you can request that many slots, and most probably they are going to grant them to you. At least this is what I understand from their guides. Regards, Dashamir
