The pa crew can make this smaller by putting the bp limit at 4 meaning there will be 63 gals instead.
Otherwise you need to go for something more radical like going back to private vs free gals. They could put a cap on gal size, but this will be immensely to the disadvantage of gals that end up without a bp as a result and would make exiling a really bad option as there would be a large number of gals you would never have a chance to get into. The result would be a group of people stuck in the worst gals with no hope of exit.

I'm not really bothered about the semantics of how it's implimented, that's for the PA crew to figure out. I don't see why it's not possible to have gals fully composed of randoms, we've had it before.
I also don't agree with your argument about never being able to exile into BP gals, in fact they tend to open spots up much more frequently in the first half of the round. Exiling has always been a really bad option, as people tend to stay in decent gals when given the choice, usually meaning the only gals left are stinkers, so it's no different than now.
