One more factor that isn't hinted at in the rules or errata, but I think is the most important factor, is wealth of the kingdom invading.
    In one of my games as Kosala, I was able to fit 35 troops in my armies.  I had a superior treasury for many turns.  So I think the most important factor is how many troops you are ABLE to supply.  Note however, that those troops were not assigned, but pulled in to an invasion from my provincial army, not assigned from the capital.
