Loren,
The number of boosters you require is based on the number of trains you want to run, not the size of the layout. If you don't exceed the total draw (amps) of one system (typically 3 - 5 amps), there is no reason to add more. You can divide your layout into power districts for signalling, detection, or just plain troubleshooting purposes without having to have a master system with booster(s).
