In Jalk's Book, it's 7x7x2.

"Report on the Orlanthi". P255.
"But for a priestess to be assured of getting her magic back by fully
contacting her deity during the periodic rites, she must have the formulaic
"7x7x2 participants." Otherwise, her greater magic, which sets her apart
from other godi, is not guaranteed."

Of course, you'd want some surplus. "Sorry, Olaf's got the flux, can't make
it. We're on 97, not 98. No magic this year. Oops."
