Testing it with Vauban and Vortex, after gathering up a few dozen Infested it did indeed strike all of them at once. All of the Light Infested died around the same time, Ancients afterwards. No apparent limit to how many targets it can hit, and no limit to how many it can go through.

It appears to not so much be a projected stream of fire, as a general cloud of damage. Anything in range takes a hit, doesn't matter what they're behind or where they are. Sort of like standing in the fire on a burning ship; it's an area hazard, not a directed attack.

To put it simply, the Ignis has the equivalent of unlimited puncture, but the way the flames actually seem to work, Puncture is the wrong term. It just saturates an area with horrible, fiery burning death, it doesn't really go through enemies to get to other enemies like the regular Puncture mechanic.
