That /is/ a limitation of html. Look at any online file management
tool.

Arguably 4 is a batch. And given the limitation of html he could hardly
put an unlimited number of file upload boxes.

There is no excuse fore this attitude but I think you are on shaky
ground if you refuse to pay. It would be better to keep a good working
relationship and reach a compromise solution or, if it's never going to
be what you want, chalk it up to experience and try another approach.
But this time say /exactly/ what you want.
