Based on this answer, the LLaMA 3 model is more dense than GPT-4. Is the number of tokens per parameter dependent on the training data? Is there a way to increase it during training/development?

Is the number of tokens per parameter dependent on the training data?
Yes. Number of tokens per parameter = number of tokens in training set / number of parameters in the trained model.
Is there a way to increase it during training/development?
Scrape more data. Which is why some greedy corporations try to paywall access to data, e.g. see https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/401324/178179, in an attempt to milk AI companies and researchers, thereby slowing down AI progress.
