All the Greek phalanx units have the same length pike now. But if you play on h or vh then the AI will have the advantage in a straight up fight, so you do have to flank. Fortunately XGM prvides you with lots of units which can do that. :)
Oh and you said 300 spartans, so shouldnt GCS start with 3 units of the royal guard? Because I started with a single unit, 100 men.
Well a Roman cohort was typically about 500 men. If we take that as a scale then one unit of Spartan Royal Guards is more than enough to represent the Spartan 300.

I've never tried, but as far as I know you just have to add the general_unit attribute. I think there is a guide in the scriptorium here.
