If you want to reduce the chances of rebellion from your army, the number of people in it doesn't matter because the point of an army is having power projection. If you want to reduce the chance of rebellion then what you want is a decentralized command system for your army, or don't be a dumbass and only promote those that you can reasonably trust (whether it is their loyalty or personally) to captains and colonels.

Basically, if you don't have enough power projection you get rebellions from your politicians and civilian population rather than your army.
