Default RPM on a group

I’m a bit confused. Let’s assume that a certain ritual is meant to affect the inhabitants of a village, 250 people. This is a well-defined group, so the roll is at -2. Does the caster also take -24 for the size of the group? The example in Thaumatology doesn’t mention the -2. In case you’re wondering, the ritual is one I’m developing for the Path of Health: Spread Immunity. If one person in the target group is immune to a sickness, everyone becomes immune to it, effectively a magical vaccination.

In the case of a village you go with the area they are all in. Best to assemble people in the town square) and need to account for the weight an individual.
Most use 300 lbs for the latter.
