I agree the current terms are a little vague for this case. When we launch billing, we'll have an updated version of the policy that discusses this case more concretely. In short, any strategy that applies multiple allocations of the free quotas toward a single use (multiple apps acting as a single application) would be against the terms of service. Remember that if you need additional quota during the free preview period, you can request a temporary increase: http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineContact
