The basic idea is that each mission is an 'episode', as though the RP is a TV series. In the original RP, four episodes ran at a time each with a team of about four, with a fifth episode containing everyone. As explained in the OP, episode one will contain everyone while episodes two and three will contain half the cast, with both running at the same time. Hope that explains it.

That's a really nice way to manage a large group.
