I've tried to raise 10,000 of a troop type and not had it cost more than
trying 100, so I don't think the cost is per attempt.  Most easily
notable with Kusan, the number of troops you can raise is definitely
tied to the number of provinces you control.  Didn't bother to figure an
exact formula.  It is (more of less exactly) halved when you're broke.
While my number of provinces stayed the same, I always recruited the
same number of troops (though with Amazonia I had real problems trying
to max the specific troop types I wanted).

You certainly can try to raise 10,000 mercs (and you'll get your max %).
I haven't seen any opponents (good or poor) disband mercs on a regular
basis in regards to peace years, so I'd assume it isn't worth the
effort.
