I do not understand what you mean for a whole network or single ip. This
is set globally. What I mean by that is no matter where you connect from
 those connections would be made to follow those rules so it is set for
the entire network.

Like I said above everyone would be made to follow such rules. With the
smtp_client_event_limit_exceptions = being blank this would even pertain
to customers in your local lan also, it could be a good idea to include
$mynetworks at least or .example.com as your domain.

You have not given a real good scenario of what you are trying to
accomplish and why you want to do such but also keep in mind
smtpd_connection_rate_time_unit default is set to 60 seconds, meaning
with your setting one client would be able to connect a maximum of 10
times in one minute.
