That would make sense! Having smaller contingents in many places would provide ( with alternating runners/riders ) a very quick response and space out the area covered. If I were to use modern terms (US Army) a company split into platoons for major roads,towns, or defensive fortifications. Patrols would probably take place at least once a week but surprise patrols could keep people on their toes. A patrol wouldn't have to be very big 10 cavalry would do. Roughly the size of a modern squad.
