ORIGINAL ANSWER:

The documentation says that the Places API returns up to 20 results. It does not indicate that there is any way to change that limit. So, the short answer seems to be: You can't.

Of course, you might be able to sort of fake it by doing queries for several locations, and then merging/de-duplicating the results. It's kind of a cheap hack, though, and might not work very well. And I'd check first to make sure it doesn't violate the terms of service.
