No No No. I belive everything above 300000 was not sustainable by the reources of the time. We are not sure even for that.
Millions is a gross exageration.
The only way to sustain them would be the earlier savage campaign in Thrace where the Persians razed many cities to the ground, enslaved the inhabitants and problay forced the people to amass and store the food, indifferent of the slaves dying from starvation so that the army could eat.
Based on Bronze Age Pylos Tablets a pentikontoros (50 oars) could make the voyage from Pylos to Iolkos Thessaly in 10 days appoximately taking the "coastal" root.

Kind regards
