You can't do that, at least not in stock kernel. All you could do is limiting the amount or total size of all files owned by a particular user or group throughout a filesystem. It's called quota system.

There IS a 'directory quota' patch around somewhere. It limits the amount or total size or files inside a directory even if the files belong to various different users/groups.
