In the Son of Summer Stars, Jan sees the Gather for the first time, he sees twelve score of plainsdwellers, maybe more. Which would equal around 240 unicorns.
I assume that this is actually a pretty big Gather for the plainsdwellers since they are celebrating Korr leaving the plains. So I would think that a Gather can range anywhere between 20 to 300 or more depending on how many unicorns are in the area and come calling.
I assume that the amount of unicorns there would have a lot to do with where it was, how much time unicorns had to pass the word, and what bands happened to be in the area. I don't know if weather would have a big contribution to play on numbers since the plains are so big and the plainsdwellers so spread out.
