As I said before Phlip, Alexander and Pyrros would have devided the 10000 to 25000 pikemen into 256 men "syntagma" sub units.
Later Hellenistic generals especially Syria and Egypt neglected the infantry and had only an elite well trained unit of pikemen and use the rest of the infantry as amass and tht was finaly their undoing.
Kind regards
