It was never displayed that Lucifer was at his "limit" when creating the universe. Besides, can't you create pretty much anything with the demiurge? Characters that do not know better referred to it as a universe.
It the latest canon material, it was referred to as a multiverse. Call it a retcon if you must, but it happened.
I accept it as a multiverse. If you do not want to do that, I can both understand and accept it. I do see where you're coming from.
