Yep, we routinely have 25-30 aircraft on a sector freq in Muscat but that only results in frequency congestion as opposed to mind-boggling traffic complexity. As others have indicated, you may only have 5 aircraft but circumstances may cause you to have a meltdown because of the type of conflictions you have, equipment problems, comms problems, etc, etc,etc.
I tell you what, though, if one of my trainees tried to vector 10 aircraft at one time, I'd take him out and shoot him. OOps, am I allowed to say that in this day and age?
