I think you have a couple of concepts confused here.

Spill is literally "spillage" sound, much like a spilt coffee, it usually sounds that have spilled into adjacement microphones therefore generally unwanted.

So for spill you should be aiming to reduce it.

To increase spill (you won't make many friends) you can use microphones with a wider pick-up pattern such as omni-directionals.

To use the term "more spill" simply means to let more sound go into more microphones, which inevitably means less control over each sound.

You would also have more spill by recording in a more reverberant room where more reflection takes place, thus sending more "spillage" into the microphones.

Incidently "spill" is a term for acoustics and nothing to do with recording techniques, it is a question of acoustic sources, microphones and venue.

Never seen it myself, Walters, but on a reverb it would imply something all together different much like diffusion I imagine.
