Someone (Andy Collins? SKR? Monte Cook? Mike Mearls? All of the above?) suggested using the same rules for EL -- increasing the number of creatures by 50% adds +1, increasing by 100% adds +2. So for a 5-6 person group, you would (roughly) treat the group as 1 level higher, and 2 levels higher for 8 PCs.
Roughly.
The groups I GM for tend to have more than four characters in 'em, so I've been using that approximation. It's worked okay.
