Could we have:-
1) Option to block all emails with more than a user defined number of recipients.
2) Option to block all emails multicopied to people with the same first name e.g matt, john etc.

You can make a regular expression filter to catch multiple recipients if you want:
(.+@){10}
This counts the number of "@" symbols in a line. The "10" tells how many matches you want. You can put this in a filter that checks the "To" and "CC" fields.
The first name is a little rougher, as the name has to be surrounded by a delimiter of some sort. Do you have any examples of this? I didn't have any spam where they used names, only e-mail addresses, and none had the first name.

Not sure if Matt is having similar problems but I've had spam that targets a whack of accounts at my ISP. It looks like someone must have penetrated the ISP to get a list of all accounts. By blocking accounts into uname groupings I receive one of those spam messages sent to all ika@storm.ca to ilz@storm.ca accounts. I just wrote a filter to catch these as follows:
