If no cover is specified in the recipe, you see a default. To specify a cover, the recipe will use one of these:
Code:
get_cover_url()
default_cover(cover_file)[source]

The problem is that it shows so many covers in Coverflow that it is threatening to outnumber all my other books. I want a single issue to be represented by one cover in Coverflow.

It sounds like you want the opposite of what most people want. You want all issues to be the same cover? If so, you can either use the default, or find one you want to always use and specify it with one of the above. Just deleting the code that grabs the cover will be sufficient to use the default.

I compared the tags of the newspaper and the magazine hoping that something in the tags would account for one item showing multiple covers and the other showing just one cover, but I couldn't see a difference.

It's not in the tags.

Which setting controls how many covers are shown??

"How many" depends on how many ebooks you have from that recipe. I'm not discussing that. That depends on your settings in Calibre for how many issues to save. (On an ereader, it may depend on whether the save name is always the same or different - and that depends on the save title and whether the date is included.) "How many
different covers" is what I think you are asking about and the two methods above control that.
