I just plugged in the traditional 5120 men for fun and the Gallic army was ~142,000 men strong, lol.
Evan, what is the traditional 5120 men are you referring to? Is this the size of a legion?
I would guess the usual 6 x 80-man centuries = 480 men per cohort x 9 = 4320 + (one cohort of five double centuries of 160 men each = 800 men) = 5120.
I'm not sure what the rest means though! Is this based on the Notitia Dignitatum?
