I'll second David's comments, and second the fact that the Manchester
layout seemed to work well.  The facility in Manchester provided a couple
secondary rooms plus a few much smaller rooms which I think generally
worked well. Having a tertiary area for meals/"networking" type engagements
should also be considered, that's effectively the 3rd breakout room.

But that still points to a max of < 300 people.  Otherwise you need
more/larger breakouts.
