Doesn't have one. There are various workarounds/solutions to this, but
since you already know Python the easiest thing would just be to use
that. Example:

#!/usr/bin/python

from appscript im****t * # from <http://appscript.sourceforge.net>

threshold = 2 # your value here

mail = app('Mail')

subjects = mail.junk_mailbox.messages.subject.get()

subjectcount = {}

for name in subjects:
    name = name.lower()
    if name in subjectcount:
        subjectcount[name] += 1
    else:
        subjectcount[name] = 1

for name, count in subjectcount.items():
    if count > threshold:
        mail.junk_mailbox.messages[its.subject == name].delete()
        print 'Deleted %i junk messages named %r' % (count, name)
