I don't think you can deauthorize all of them from any given computer; however, if you log onto your account at iTMS, you can see how many remain authorized. It's unfortunate that you can't manage them there.
I have authorized 5 times 
but some of the authorized computers have had a clean instrall so i can authorized them.

You need to email Apple's iTMS customer support people and tell them to deauthorize all your computers. They will do it, then you simply re-authorize the one's you want.
Also, in the future, remeber to deauthorize before you perform a clean install.

I almost made the same mistake before I did a clean install on my PowerBook. Right before I was going to click 'Earse Partition' while on the Mac OS X startup disc, and I just remembered...iTunes!
Good luck, I should give Apple a call though since I formated my old iBook without remembering about iTunes

yeah, i think the wait times for this are getting longer ... there must be a lot of people doing this and im sure Apple is sick of resetting account authorization.
i've done it once before ... now i've sold a computer and i don't have access to it!
still waiting.
peace.
