you could use the cdr_custom module in CVS head. additionally, asterisk 
stores cdrs in Master.csv (all calls) as well as separate files based on 
account code. you could define a specific account code and only parse that 
file.

even if there's one account but 4 calls being made, you'd still see the cdr 
for all 4 calls. bill according to that.

you could limit simultaneous calls using the SetGroup() application. see
