Good question -
We had some settings for this in an earlier version, but i temporarily removed them because there were some bugs.
You can however work it out if you know your thumbnail sizes, frame width and space. For example, if your thumbnails are 120x90, your frames are 5px and the space between thumbs is 5px, the required space is:
horizontal:
(120*3)+(5*2*3)+(5*2) = 400
[width*amount]+(framewidth*2sides*amount)+(space*(amount-1))]
vertical:
(90*3)+(5*2*3)+(5*2) = 310
Round those amount slightly upwards to 410 and 320 to remove any insecurities, and add the value to admin -> config.thumbnails.thumbnails.maxwidth and maxheight.
Now there will always be 3x3 thumbnails, as long as the thumbnails are 120x90.
