Yes, Maestro is more than capable of this, and there are a couple of
different ways to handle it.

You can set a job limit by account, or even more flexible, use Maestro
resources.  Create a resource in Arranger, pick a name that makes sense to
you, and set the count of this resource to one.

Change the job definition in Arranger your the jobs you want to limit to
one at a time to use one of the resource that you created.  Maestro will
then only allow one job at a time that specifies the dependency on that
resource.

You can also set resource dependencies at the schedule level, so that
conflicting schedules will not run at the same time.
