As we know, North Mythology is a great influence in SNK. I think the reason there are 9 titans is to represent the 9 realms that are connected through Yggdrasil. So, that may be the reason why you won't get more than 9.

Inside the story, as it has been said, they have probably tried. When they fed 1 of the 9 titans to 3 other eldians, maybe only one of them was able to turn into a titan shifter and back. Maybe all 3 of them could, but the power was divided by 3, so maybe the duration of the transformation became too short.

I too imagine most likely they just can't be divided into more then 9, just because the story emphasizes that, though out history, there were always 9.

Now that Eren has eaten 3 titans, I wonder, if he were to be eaten by 3 people, would each of them have the same powers the Titans had before, or would the new division of power make them manifest in a different way.
