I'm not sure if that settles it... again, the sons of Elrond and the Dunedain could each have a couple dozen men. I guess barring a quote saying "Well, there were EXACTLY X Dunedain" This could be argued endlessly... but what I was trying to get at is whether you see it possible (and perhaps logical) that more men would have been commanded by them.
Then the precense of the sons of Elrond would be much more strongly felt, the couple of hundred of Dunedain would be really a devastating army by themselves... and as I said before, it should be taken into account that in the times LoTR was set in, saying "King X" or "General Z" meant the king and his army.
