Hi. 16 workspaces here.
Same problem.
KDE has some "centralized" ideas which I really don't like; this "reuse windows"
is one of them, the unified progress bar (notifications) is another one.

My solution is:

      $ cat /usr/local/bin/kate
      #!/bin/bash

      exec /usr/bin/kate -n "$@"

Just be sure that /usr/local/bin precedes /usr/bin in $PATH.
