How many teams for each pro/rel level?

Kicking the tires on another USBL project, as well as using some of the great work I'm finding on the graphics subforum.

In the structure I envision, I will have two leagues. One older league consisting of 24 teams will enter into a promotion/relegation agreement with the upstart newer league consisting of 32 teams. I'm trying to decide what a reasonable outcome would be in this fictional legal process.

Obviously I could split the leagues by their original sizes and have two flights of 24 and 32 teams. That makes sense, as the newer league would probably be happy being able to be promoted at all.

I've thought about promoting the best four teams from the lower division and making it 28/28. Finally, I've thought about splitting into three levels with 16/20/20, but the more I think about it, I don't want to do that.

What would make sense, realistically, in this situation? Do eight teams from the lower division fold and it becomes 24/24? I don't know. Help me out.
