My take on the subject is that following the SPIRIT of the rules, you'd
have as many groups of 6 as you have fighters, and maybe a leftover
group
of the rest.

This prevents too much abuse. Even though fighter group size is not
explicitly stated, I think it's pretty well been established at 6.

WAY too rules lawyer-ish for FT.
