I don't think there is a limit on the number of a specific unique card
that can be in play at a given time. There is no rule (that I can find
anyway) that states that only one given unique card can be in play at a
given time. (As was mentioned in an early post, Hatchetman 2057 is an
odd one since he is both unique and a prime runner so you can only have
one in play and only one in your deck.)

Here are the unique cards that I came up with:
Hatchetman 2057
Custom System
Guardian Dracoform
Guardian Earth Elemental
Guardian Fire Elemental
False Mentor
Red Alert
Nerps!

Of these, I think that Hatchetman 2057, Red Alert, Nerps! (as suggested
above), and False Mentor would be the only ones that might be able to
come into play with more than one at a time. The others are challenges
and that gets a bit strange. I know it has been mentioned that you can
play False Mentor right after someone else used False Mentor (to steal
your rep back).

I hope this helps.
