Glad to help :-)

And I think I understand your question, but let me rephrase it just to make sure.

"Is there any reason to kick people out of your mafia after you have more than 500 members?"

You may want to prune inactive members from your mafia. The reasons for doing this are varied, but a few I can think of off the top of my head:
 * Fewer mafia members means higher concentration of secret stashes and the like going to the members you still have
 * An OCD desire to have only real active mafia wars players in your mafia
 * Wanting to keep your real mafia down to a close knit group of friends

By having hired guns you can have a "small mafia" of real players while still not getting thwomped in fights and robbing (since those calculations will include your hired guns).
