nope! only actual unit strength matters... (not that i have the new book yet, but that's what i've been told by anyone who's got the 7th edition book!)
the 5 wide formation is needed to gain rank bonus - which is why all heavy cavalry except bretonnians are now better off in units of 6-8 models! (as it's rather pointless spending 300pts or so just to ensure a +1 rank bonus...)
*** happily munches away!***
cheers!
