Any way to reduce the reclaim party size? I really don't want 50 dorfs that I won't be using x_x

Unfortunately I don't think there is any way.  Add to this the fact that all dwarves in your reclaim party are bust buddies with every single other dwarf in the group, simply arranging for an unfortunate accident to eliminate the unwanted dwarves ultimately leads to an uber-death spiral of doom which more than likely will end up with you reclaiming again  ;D

If your dwarves are happy enough (waterfall antidepressants should do the trick), they can handle a few friends dying. But don't overdo it.

With the dead guy's loot adding to your fortress wealth, thus with even more dwarves than the last reclaim!

I think so, anyway.

Yep, at least that is how it seemed to be working for me during my reclaim experiments  8)
