After you have inserted the ILA core on a post-synthesized netlist it is possible for you to set the number of comparators used to anywhere from 1 to 16. To do that in the Vivado IDE, go to the Debug Core Options tab of the ILA core and set the ALL_PROBE_SAME_MU_CNT property to the desired number of comparators.

Alternatively, you can set the ALL_PROBE_SAME_MU_CNT property in the Tcl Console as follows:

set_property ALL_PROBE_SAME_MU_CNT 10 [get_debug_cores u_ila_0]
Tip: If Capture Control is enabled, you have a choice of using 1 to 15 comparators. One comparator is used by the capture control data filtering mechanism.
Important: It is not possible to set different number of comparators for different probes in the ILA using the insertion flow. AMD recommends that you use the HDL instantiation flow to achieve that.
