There are a couple of factors which give you an answer somewhere between 2-20… 
Going by the book a Minor House should control about a third a planet, Nascent Houses can be much smaller. That gives you about 2-4 Houses per planet, or 1 per moon.
House Majors have at least 1 planet, but several are mentioned as having more (House Taligari has a whopping 9 planets, 7 of which are habitable). So even if they control their homeworld directly there is plenty of of space for more House Minors.
Personally I have run more Minor Houses per planet than suggested.
My first campaign had 4 House Minors and a Nascent House on Cheruf, when I expanded it to the Homeworld of their Major House, Ezharian, I added a further 3 Houses on their Homeworld and another on a remote moon.
That gives you 9 House Minors on a 2 planet/1 moon House Major.
Of these the Nascent House only controlled a small city and it’s environs, while 2 of the House Minors had fairly small volume of land (1 was an island chain, while the other controlled several large cities on the Homeworld)
The below map shows Cheruf from my campaign and the House Minor borders.
Thank you. Thats hany info.
