I never bought a certificate from Comodo, but, as a rule, there are no restrictions on the number of elements that you are allowed to sign, only a restriction on the amount of time (usually 1 or more years) for which the certificate is valid.

Update: From the Comodo Code Coding FAQ :

Is there a limit on the number of applications allowed to sign up with a code signing certificate?

Comodo does not limit you to any particular number. You can sign as many applications as possible with certificate code signatures, as you wish, provided that the applications are used and distributed by the organization that owns the certificate.

We use the Comodo certificate at work, there is no limit on the amount of code that you can sign. You buy a certificate for a year, 2 years, etc. And you can sign as much as you want during this period of time. In addition, if you correctly mark the time stamp, the signed code does not expire when the certificate expires, so as soon as you sign it (with a valid time stamp), it will be signed until you have to recompile.
