Apologies, I made a mistake in thinking that a project quota of 2 would 
give each user in the project of quota of 2. While it would, it would 
also not let the total usage in the project exceed 2 (so obviously that 
is not what you want).

Unfortunately I don't think the quota system today can do what you would 
like here -- to have an automatic per-user quota of 2 while keeping the 
project total quota limited to 20. You would have to set a per-user 
quota of 2 on every user in the project separately and make sure to do 
it each time you add a new user to the project.
