 Yes, Chiquart implicitly states quantities for a mass of diners. From that 
we can reasonably figure out how much it would take to feed 10000.

Why would you want to? These type of eaters were restricted to 'holy' men and 
would unlikely have been invitees to a feast. OTOH, vegetarian meant no meat 
but did not exclude fish in period so the fish dishes that would be included 
in a normal feast would easily have provided for these special interest 
people.
