There is one thing bannerlord and mount and blade in general doesn't simulate well. Sleep. A small group of men have less manpower available to do things like eat/sleep/stand guard. A much larger force of say over 100 men will be able to take shifts and send out patrols to find them. And that larger force can also move it's fastest elements faster.
