Why should they? You certainly wouldn't field an army of 1x Hastati 1x Principes 1x Triarii. So, when you have more units in your army you can recreate the correct line up by having 1/2 fewer units of Triarii, assuming that each unit of Triarii represents the Triarii of two Legions standing in one line. Don't forget, you still have to deal with the 20-units limit to recreate a Consular army of 4 Legions, plus all the Extraordinarii, Auxilia, allies and the like.
