I'd never thought about that but it's a good way of looking at it. I just checked the novel which describes the scene as 'The six Ducky Boys had multiplied into hundreds, lining the woods and the playing fields' which is pretty much what you see in the movie but I sort of prefer your take on it rather than seeing it as a simple adaptation of what Price wrote.
The novel is really just a series of interconnected short stories (similar to Last Exit to Brooklyn) and the main set pieces run in a different order. That might be why the film feels a little disjointed, although I've not noticed it personally.
