You start with 4 and get 2 more for each spell level above 3rd. You're using 5th level spell, so 4+2+2=8. If your simulacrum also casts it, then it's 16.  However, you cannot keep casting it over and over. The undead are under your control for 24 hours, and if you recast it, you regain control for an additional 24 hours. You do not get more undead. So you have, at most, 16 undead using 5th level slots between you and your sim. You can use a higher level slot if you want, but as those are limited, that caps them at 24 hours (after that they are uncontrollable and may attack you and your sim; not like they'd be a threat to you) OR it caps your most recent long rest at 24 hours ago.</blockquote>
