Thanks to cmfung@ee.cuhk.edu.hk who answered:

You can put the following line in /etc/system to limit the max. no. of
user processes in the system:
set maxuprc = 30

However, I need to limit the number of times they log on rather than the number
of processes they run. The users go into a menu when they logon and run all
sorts of things - I've got no idea how many processes, it will be different each
time - they have paid for a certain number of users to access the system at any
one time.

I have decided to put something into the /etc/profile when they login which
exits if they are already logged on too many times. I will run a script at night
killing any of their sessions still left hanging around.

thanks
Marina
