You can set the `open-pull-requests-limit: 1` (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/supply-chain-securi...) and the `schedule.interval: weekly` to limit the number of created PRs to one per week

> ... and bundle your changes"?

We've referred to this feature as "grouped updates" and it's tracked on the roadmap: https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/148

Potentially using `allow: direct` (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/supply-chain-securi...) to ignore the random sub dependencies, or ignoring minor versions (https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/supply-chain-securi...) of some/all dependencies might help reduce that noise.
