EDIT - just checked the 2023 Monza GP, which gives the following garage allocations (of the 60 garages available):

Williams 4.5
Alpha Tauri 5.5
Haas 4.5
Aston Martin 4.5
Alfa Romeo 5.5
McLaren 4.5
Alpine 5.5
Mercedes 4.5
Ferrari 5 (the only team not sharing with another user )
Red Bull 4.5

The limiting factor seems to be pit box positions (in relation to the garages). If you placed the first pit box earlier in the lane, and gave all teams 4.5 garages only, then there is more than enough room for an 11th team.
Clearly some places do vary. Monza has very long but VERY narrow boxes - unique in current F1 IIRC, and some have fixtures/fittings/pillars.
