Is there a ratio of the number of dark/lights to subs required to reduce noise or is it a case of more the merrier.

That could depend on what software you would use to calibrate and stack but ideally 5 darks for one light sub. I usually stack together 30 flats for the master and you'll need bias frames also for proper flat fielding .
