Against the Spatans they must have formed a separate unit in the far left. You're right,placing them in 50 ranks deep was a waist of their power. They could have formed the left wing with 8,6,12,or 16 deep and the rest would be regularly hoplites(some say even unarmoured citizens) behind them. Speculation this is on my part.
