Newly turned werewolves have little to no control, they not only risk outing themselves, but their Alpha as well. Not only that, we've seen what happens when an Alpha creates several Betas at once, its all fun and games until the night of the full moon and you have 3 rabid werewolves trying to rip you apart. Derek chose this route and it went really bad, he's lucky Isaac managed to gain control and help him. I think Peter would be capable of handling three to two betas. As shown in season 1 and more so in later seasons he is extremely intelligent and knowledable about the supernatural. Not only that he is pretty strong as an omega and going by the shows continuity/what has been shown, more so as an Alpha.

And if I remember correctly Derek in episode 2 or 3 was capable of making a out of control Issac submissive with a simple roar and in the episode where he is fighting off Boyd and Erica he dosen't use this or even transform or attempt to make them submissive.((Probably because he is trying to resist the moons influence, which i'm going to guess is harder as an Alpha.))

While Peter in Season 1 as an Alpha was capable of remaining transformed and in control to boost as seen at the end of 1x08. I'm aware that Peter is intelligent but that isn't going to help him contain several Betas on a full moon. It was bc of this intelligence that he only turned one Beta. Its not like he was going to need a ton of help to kill a few humans. He actually did it by himself.

Argent said that an alpha is just like any other werewolf on the night of a full moon, they also struggle to maintain control. So, you're right about that, Derek most likely didn't attempt to make them submit bc he would risk losing control. He was holding back, it was him against three Betas, had Isaac not gained control, he was either going to have to kill them or they were going to kill him. Peter is smarter than Derek and he managed to avoid this. I mean going off what's shown in season 1 he was always able to locate Scott, if he did the same thing with another beta and used a roar that made them submit like Derek did then I think he'd be capable of dealing and containing them.

I always thought Peter didn't retain control because he was just smarter but because he was also focused on his goal which Kate pointed out.
