Berry and Burnell recommend 12 pixels for DSLRs. 10 - 15 is OK. I guess with longer focal lengths keeping the target within the sensor boundary becomes a consideration.

The reasons for dithering are manifold. A distinct advantage is improved subpixel sampling as well as hiding less than optimal image calibration/reduction artifacts. Typical of poorly temperature matched darks.
