The math stop checking out at level 4.

You have level 5 managers managing 10 each, and you have level 4 managers managing 10 teams each? That stops checking out. The higher you go the more disciplined you have to be about grouping relating teams under the same umbrella for efficient execution.

In fact, the levels don't matter as much as the autonomy at each level. The more autonomy, provided that the right people are hired and are focused on the goal, makes it better and less managerial burden going up the chain.
