20K lines of code is the sweet spot that a good developer can realistically hold in his brain at once per year.
Which means, the code size should be
Total Lines of Code / (People - 1) <= 20K
You always want to -1 because you want shared knowledge about the codebase.
If your team is suffering from complexity but the number is <= 20K, you designed the wrong architecture.
