Great to these painted up. I have a ton of Wakes Emporium 6mm I plan doing in 10mm.
I, of course, have done a lot of Star Wars FfoL BB in 28mm. Most squads are 6 in number. You’re right to treat bike squads as mounted vs separate vehicles.
Don’t worry about vehicles too much. Most AT-ST in our games rarely survive 2 turns. They die quick when fired on by the right weapons. You can also just make squads of vehicles that activate on the same card. If you do this, I suggest upping the number of infantry stands in a unit.

Cheers for the insight.  I have been trying to decide on squad size.

Clones:
Regulars
Size: 6 or 10
Shoot: 10
CC:  10
Traits: Dead-eye, Loyal
Weapons: 1x Missile Launcher, rest Blasters

ARC Troopers:
Regulars
Size:  6 or 10
Shoot: 12
CC: 12
Traits: Sniper, Ranger, Veteran
Weapons: 1x ML, rest Blasters

BARC speeders:
Irregulars:
Size: 4-6
Shoot: 10
CC: 10
Traits: Flight, Mounted, Dead-eye, Skirmishers
Weapons:  Blasters

AT-RTs:
Irregulars:
Size: 4-6
Shoot: 10
CC: 10
Traits: Mounted, Dead-eye, Large
Weapons:  Heavy Blasters

B1s:
Size: 8 or 12
Shoot 8
CC: 8
Traits: Killer, Nerves of Steel (too stupid to seek self preservation)
Weapons:  1x ML, rest Blasters

B2s
Size:6 or 10
Shoot: 10
CC: 10
Traits: Killer, Cool Headed
Weapons: 1x Grenade Launcher, rest Blasters

Droideka:
Irregular
Size: 4-6
Shoot: 10
CC: 10
Traits:  Two-guns, Armored, Quick
Weapons:  2x Blaster per model

Dwarf Spider Droids:
Regular
Size: 4-6
Shoot:  12
CC: 8
Traits:  Eagle Eye, Ranged Fighter
Weapons:  Blasters

Most of the Transports will end up with the capacity to haul 2 squads and a hero or a commander to match their capacity in SW.
On time, on target, or the next one's free

Seems about tight. Time for a playtest to dial in the numbers.
Biggest note for new players, just like real battlefields, don’t get caught in the open. You’ll get real world results.

Yeah, we've run it several times with my Samurai and Northern Crusades.  This will be the first time with vehicles.

Crossbows and arquebus are awesome, so we'll see how well ancient religions do vs blasters.
