I disagree; in fact, I don't even understand where another interpretation could come from.

Each team, when on defense, may be granted not more than three
charged conferences without penalty during a seven-inning game to permit
coaches or their representatives to confer with a defensive player or players.

How is "not more than three... during a seven-inning game" ambiguous? If you need more, look at the penalty:

PENALTY: (Art. 1) After three charged conferences in a seven-inning game, or
for any charged conference in excess of one in each extra inning, the pitcher
shall be removed as pitcher for the duration of the game.

Is the 4th conference after 3? Is the 5th charged conference after 3? Maybe I'm missing what you are saying, but it seems very clear to me.
