The IS_IN_DB validator takes a "multiple" argument that can either be True 
or a tuple with a min and max number of selections:

IS_IN_DB(..., multiple=(1,3))

The first argument to IS_IN_DB can be a DAL Set object that limits the set 
of records. It also takes "groupby" and "orderby" arguments, though 
unfortunately not a "limitby" argument (perhaps we should add that) -- so 
that's makes it trickier to select the last N submissions. To get around 
that problem, I suppose the Set object could include a query like 
db.t_image.id.belongs(db([query])._select(..., 
limitby=...)).
