In hanging baskets in the greenhouse. A wild tangle of plant with heaps of
flowers. Now what? Should I chop the foliage back so there's only a couple
of fruits per plant? Or let them get on with it and see what happens?

Unless you live in a particularly warm location I doubt you'll succeed
in ripening more than 3 melons per plant - don't remove excessive
foliage though, the plant needs this to plump up the fruit.
