contents We consider the geometric problem of determining the maximum number $n_q(r,h,f;s)$ of $(h-1)$-spaces in the projective space $\operatorname{PG}(r-1,q)$ such that each subspace of codimension $f$ does contain at most $s$ elements. In coding theory terms we are dealing with additive codes that have a large $f$th generalized Hamming weight. We also consider the dual problem of the minimum number $b_q(r,h,f;s)$ of $(h-1)$-spaces in $\operatorname{PG}(r-1,q)$ such that each subspace of codimension $f$ contains at least $s$ elements. We fully determine $b_2(5,2,2;s)$ as a function of $s$. We additionally give bounds and constructions for other parameters. For the computational results we partially use extensive integer linear programming computations.
