That's the the difference between a low-discrepancy sequence and low-discrepancy set. The first can generate an infinite number of points, the later targets exactly a specific number. You can often get lower discrepancy if you know up front exactly how many points you'll want.

All that said, there's definitely been research into samplers that combine low-discrepancy with blue noise properties (often including retaining those properties even in lower-dimensional projections produced by dropping axis).
