Yes - you can create any number of patches you like.

Looking at all the options, only the –f seems to be remotely related to what 
I’m looking
for but that’s not it at all.

It's exactly it - the -f parameter has the default value that creates most of
the 836 patches. Change it to something else (like 0) if you don't want that
default.

I must say I found the answer here http://www.marcelpatek.com/argyll.php

The answer is right here, where it should be:

<http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/targen.html>:

  -f patches      Add iterative & adaptive full spread patches to total 
(default 836)
