How many cresteds for a tank this size?

I have a 75 gallon vertical conversion and cresteds ae one of my options. I obviously could fit a ton in there, but what is considered the maximum group size for crested geckos? Sorry if this is a dumb question...

Four should fit in there comfortably.

That's what I thought but I wasn't too sure. Only one male though, correct?

Yup, as usual.

I go by the rule of thumb: 20 gallons for the first gecko, 10 gallons for each gecko there after.

So in my 55 gallon, I will be housing four girls in the end.
If I had a 75 gallon, I'd house up to six females or 5 females and a breeder male for a term.

If you are going to house one male with multiple females- I'd give at least two layboxes so multiple females can lay around the same time and it may help you find out which gecko mothered the eggs. If you care about that.
