Technical idea : limit the number of templates on a page ?
I don't think it would help. The first 'solution' would be a pyramid scheme... if you can only call five templates then the userpage would call five template pages... which would each call five template pages... et cetera.
So then we start cracking down on that (it's meta-templating)... and some clever person eventually realizes that there is no reason whatsoever that each userbox has to be a separate template. You could include every userbox on wikipedia into a single template call. That might limit the order in which they appear, but I think that could be worked out as well.
