Not everyone handles duck ratios the same.
Ducks form bonds and form territories. These bonds change throughout the mating season. Your number of drakes and hens may or it may not work fine. Adding more hens could make it better or it may not. Personally I try to keep my duck hens to drakes in a 1/1 ratio. Each hen will choose her drake during mating season and a good drake will protect her from other drakes. Unfortunately drakes have a tendency to try to mate unattached (or unprotected) females. When you have more duck hens than drakes, some hens will not be paired with a drake. This makes them targets for all the drakes.
Luckily some domestic flocks will form small groups and/ or work as a whole. Personally I would get your ducks together so the bonds can start to form before the mating season is in full swing.
