I can offer five or six! :-)

Actually it wasn't me who saw this swarm. A friend of mine, Mirko
Nitschke, was working on a series of image intensified video cameras in
autumn a few years ago. He opened the window to test one of the cameras,
and suddenly a swarm of 5 or 6 meteors rushed over the sky. Needless to
say that the camera was not in operation ...

I myself have never seen such a swarm, a few 'double meteors' were the
best so far.

Cheers, Sirko
