Hi Silva,
“Sufficiently large” is the term commonly used by statisticians if they want to stay vague and don’t have the balls to come up with a particular number.
Simply give it a try. I guess that for small sample sizes (e.g., 12) in the worst case you will have to start the randomization-algo more than once – with different seeds – in order to get everything balanced.
❝ What do you consider a sufficiently large sample size? ≥34? ≥46? ≥56?
