No, Hawk Moth cannot normally make more than one akuma at a time, much like how Ladybug can only use her Lucky Charm once, and once its mission is finish or is purified, the Miraculous times out.

Akumas have been shown to multiply yes, but only if they aren't purified after they're released from an object and even then, they turn people into the copies of the villain as the one that was akumatized. If Hawk Moth did that, he'd basically have dozens of Volpina clones, or whoever he reakumatized that's it. you can't win with a homogeneous team like that.

Catalyst allows him to power up so he can make several different akumas at the same time, allowing him to get a variety of villains.
