Its probably not that far off. Atleast depending on how you look at it.
Sabi sands probably went through a part of its cycle at the time with lots of large prides with lot of vulnerable cubs and subadults who make an easy target during a takeover. So numbers shoot up fast with each takeover they did.
As the coalition was big, there was also lot of redirected frustration, which often expresses itself in violence towards the lionesses and cubs.
Though I must note that the coalition did split at one point. They split even to the degree the two coalitions had some big fights with one side taking over the prides of the other at one point.
Back then the narrative added the scores of the two groups together. But today we would likely treat the two groups as two seperate coalitions. Afteral its not like we count the southern and northern Avocas as one coalition. Sharing control over both north and south sabi sands.
This would drop their score considerably and its unlikely that without ignoring split ups, we will ever see a repeat on the same level.
