Well, I think the minimum would probably be 3 because it's hard to keep a
consistent and varied group otherwise and I probably wouldn't go more than 6
or 7 because communication becomes more difficult and productivity tends to
go down due to "anonymity". When  it's a fairly small team you know you have
to contribute to the team and there's more investment in the team. However,
when a team gets large each member's part shrinks and they can tend to get
disinterested. But again, this really is really a function of the dynamics
of the team and there are ways to effectively use large teams too (having a
team lead with subteam works on specific task, or expanding the team's
scope).
