Is it possible to configure the number of threads the povray multithreaded beta
for windows uses for rendering? If yes, then how?

You can use
Work_Threads=1
in the comand line. Or any other number, default is the number of cores detected
by the program(i think).

The winpov editor has a comand line box to enter such stuff in.

Or, alternatively, use:

   +WT1

This is actually recommended on the command line (or in the command line 
box, for that matter), as INI file options can be problematic there.
