Well, the basic procedure and some suggestions on how to do this
can be found in this file in the SCA-INC section of the Florilegium:

However, the minimum number is just that - the legal minimum. From
what I've seen forming a group with too few people can easily
lead to burn-out. Of course, that can also be helped by extensive
recruiting and becoming a bigger group with more people to draw
from.

Sometimes a better solution is to form a household, an unofficial
group in the SCA. These can often provide the supporting
framework needed and help share the load without requiring the
organisational overhead of being an official group. However, they
can sometimes be more subject to catastropic politics than
organised groups.
