How many recips on a freesite?
 

Do you pack em all on 1 entry page or make multiple with like 10 recips on each?

I usually use 8-12 and at the moment I only submit to 12 LL's, so no doorway pages.

i use 16...32 over two pages

I put 12 as well

9 per warning page, but recently the site owners accept more as long as it looks clean.

and here're the biggest link lists:

You have a few link lists in there that require partner accounts and I dont know where you got your backlinks data but its completely off base - I hope you arent using the google toolbar or the link: command as most link lists have the recips link back to the category pages now - not the root domain and google has already announced that they will not show the full amount of backlinks - just a sampling which is where they come up with a number.
Youd be better off using yahoo to show backlinks as they actually count all of them, but again you would have to do it for each category page for each LL

In answer to the number of recips - Ive seen 6 on a page look like shit and Ive seen 24 look fantastic - and I would say that most of the largest LLs dont care if you have that many on one page or if you spread it out over mirrors - there are a few minor exceptions of course but thats just the way they run things
