The DMG explicitly begs off rating groups of more than 12: "Encounters
with more than a dozen creatures are difficult to judge. If you need
thirteen or more creatures to provide enough XP for a standard
encounter, then those individual monsters are probably so weak that
they don't make a for a good encounter. That's why Table 3-1 doesn't
have an entry larger than twelve for 'Number of Creatures'" (DMG p 49)
