Executive summary:
There is a (by now) well established knowledge on group dynamics depending on
its size, involving parameters such as "Dubnar's number" for example. Two
references I spotted just recently (well, Ok, they are from 2004 actually :))
can be found below:

(and here is a more scientific writing, a "base article" for which the above
two are kind of illustratory/anecdotal evidence types:
http://www.bbsonline.org/documents/a/00/00/05/65/bbs00000565-00/bbs.dunbar.html
All three were very informative, were we to actaully task a commitee (of
seven people!) to take a look at how we interact, it would be an
interesting job I think; perhaps leading to some ideas on how to
reorganize ourselves.
