What, if anything, limits vampire feeding in the setting?
Just off the top of my head, I'll suggest having to wait until the victim has healed from previous vampire-inflicted injury. (That is, measured in days, depending on setting TL and medical skill. And I do mean to imply any other vampire, if for no other reason than to make the vamps a little territorial. But it would probably still work if it were just the one specific vampire.) If there's magical healing in the setting, you might decide that such simply can't heal vamp injuries -- natural healing only -- or maybe you're fine with the vamps recruiting a willing -- or unwilling -- healer to keep the process rolling.
If you like the "sample a variety" notion, add the constraint that the vamp must have fed from at least one other victim in the meantime. Just for color, really; nothing would stop one from arranging a sufficiently big party for the vamp to be satiated. But then, encouraging that sort of response would be the point of the constraint. The limit is largely "soft", extra time and trouble and effort in a narrative sense, rather than a hard mechanic.
