Alarm journal display allows you to restrict the entries in display using the date range selector, however, how to restrict the entries to last 10 or 20 latest alarms?

You don’t, because this isn’t a capability supported by the general alarm journal mechanism.  
If you have a DB alarm journal _in particular_, you could write a SQL query to aggregate the alarm data yourself and use a TOP limit in your query.
