After someone mentioned the ability to set multiple orders for a 10-man squad, I gave it a try.  I set a 10-man squad with 5 sets of 2-man minimums and compared it to a single 2-man squad.  While the 10-man squad split neatly into 5 training pairs, the 2-man squads still sparred a lot more.  The 5 pairs of the 10-man squad seemed to favor demonstrations, with only sporadic sparring, while the 2-man squad split their time more evenly.  The 2-man squad had better gains across the board, though the biggest difference was in the Shield skill.

IIRC, sparring only happens when the skill levels are similar enough (or maybe it's just the fighter skill that needs to be?). If not, demonstrations will take place with the person with the highest skill being demonstrated leading. Squads of 2 or 3 tend to spar more due to needing less time to get similarly-leveled skills.

What exactly do you mean "5 sets of 2-man minimums"?

You can now set squads to have multiple orders in the same month.  For example, a single 10-man squad can be split into different activities, like 3 training in the barracks, 3 stationed at a far point, and 4 patrolling.  For my experiment, I just gave the 10-man squad 5 training orders that required 2 soldiers minimum to fulfill.

Ah that explains it, I haven't actually played the last couple of versions and I hadn't heard about this before yet.

True, but eventually, if your Legendary Champions live long enough, their teacher skill gets so high its very efficient to split them up and have them train 10-squads
