Probably a bit more than that.
According to the AIP, T5 has 72 unduplicated stands, and then you need to allow for aircraft taxying in/out, plus the fact that BA also serve around 20 destinations from T3.
If I get time later, I'll do some sums to work out what the peak was for yesterday, which was a reasonably normal day.
