Well I remember one bloke over at the official site's forums claiming he'd once had a Crusade of over 50,000 men. I've not tested that number personally, however, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.
My personal all-time high was a 32,000-man Jihad while playing the Fatamids/Mamluks. My largest Crusade was 24,000 troops (while playing Castille-Leon).
Knowing you, drone, I highly doubt you misread anything.As I said, I don't really think you would've mistaken units for stacks (or vice versa); I just don't have a good explanation for what those stats you referred to indicate.
