Actually the guys in the offices were draftees, not instructors, supervised by one senior petty officer. At the firing range several groups (usually a platoon) gathered. Some of the instructors kept the men who were not shooting at the moment busy (of course more than 10 now) while some other instructors operated the firing range and did the paperwork. So here the overall number of instructors did not change, ratio still 1:10.
But I see were you and August are coming from and of course there will be support personell among those 50.000. I still belive the number to be too high to be just a "instructor-force" especially since the soldiers who got trained by them can instruct other soldiers relatively quickly after that themselfes making a lot of the instructors unnecessary after a short time.
