Is there a limit to the number or lights that should come off one
junction box? Is it better to use one box per light? I ask as I plan
to extend the kitchen circuit to three fittings, all quite near, and it
seems that one box could do it for all three.


Five cables will fit a standard 4 terminal JB without any problem. Use
1.0mm sq cable and not 1.5mm though to make it less of a squeeze

There is also nothing to stop you daisy chaining the switched live from
the first lamp holder to the second rather than running a second
dedicated wire back to the JB. That way you only have the standard four
wires per JB.
