As far as I understand, that shouldn't be possible at all. I think the max enemies per spawn is 8, period... Although I feel like I'm forgetting something 
I've been away too much, dammit.
Also, Alquinn, you're seriously getting sick... Stop doing those solos, goddamit
I think you wanted to write 5 and not 8...
Anyway, my understanding of the game (don't quote me on this) is that at the start of a wave, the game spawns a group of five and a group of three enemies randomly on a free spawn. It is possible that by chance, both groups are assigned to the same spawn, which is obviously relatively rare when there are a lot of free spawns available (like during solos). If you only leave one spawn available, the game is forced to spawn all eight enemies in the same place, which is the reason why rocket speedruns work in the first place.
During Glacier solos, there is a slight chance that all eight enemies spawn in the lower basement (maybe also in other places, never happened to me though), which allows for an easy spawn nuke.
derbr pls
From what I've observed, Glacier basement spawns enemies on 3 different places -
- on the ground, next to where the ammo box used to be before they changed the map layout
- on the raft/shelf above that former ammo box
- that mini-counter up the stairs from the lower basement
The first two are presumably the same spawn, because they spawn on the ground (and usually respawn on the ground), if there's 3 or less enemies in the spawn, and they spawn on the shelf if there's 5 or more of them (excluding obviously bigger enemies like Atlases, etc.).
All of them spawning in the lower basement MAYBE happens once per match, last time I actually had it happen twice so I thought the time was gonna be real good (by that I mean I thought I could go sub13), but it was only something like ~14:30.
As for what the fastest possible unmodded solo is, you already have the answer - Xcal's 13:57, which is pretty damn fast - at least I assume it is unmodded and I don't care if it isn't.

6a. Since you're on PC and have already haxed your objectives, might as well set the max enemies per spawn point to 8
Nah, that would make the game absolutely bizzare - if you block the spawns correctly you maybe get 1 god-spawn per whole game and here you'd just make all of the spawns godly, which something that would never ever happen in a solo match. Triple pizza/escort can happen and as long as you're not specifically gunning for the time, anything but devices really works too.

Yay me! Not sub 20 of course, but still top 10 thanks to the fact he's not very popular.
