Hi Mark

I would like Steven to be right, but the evidence does not appear to support his view.

Polybius book 6.20.9 definitely states 4200 actual infantry for a standard legion, while book 6.21.9 states 600 Triari, 1200 Hastati, 1200 Princeps, and the rest (1200) are velites. 6.21.9 also states that larger legions keep 600 Triari, but the other three now enlarged elements are kept proportionally equal.
