I would, yes, you bet! Maybe even 500 people. I believe that the whole 
phenomenon of there being just one person (or even one household) with 500 
hectares to work, is a sort of artifact or anomaly of the modern industrial 
age. A rather pathological one, in my opinion.

As I see it, we need to repopulate large swathes of land with the human labor 
(and companionship) that it -- and WE -- have been missing sorely.

my two cents,
