What I would like to know..is there some kind of work around? And does this problem occur by installing a certain amount of apps from extras-devel or by their size. Eg: the limit is 3 apps of 200 mb each (600mb) or 15 apps no matter what their size is?
It depends entirely on the apps - if they're optified then they should take up very little space in rootfs (no matter how large the actual app is), whereas non-optified apps can take up a lot of rootfs space.

As for workarounds - you can manually "optify" some of the applications (if it's a large binary file or data file then it's pretty easy to move into /opt somewhere and add a symlink back), but others are more complicated.
