When the badge design was created (I paid for the file to be digitised from records office) in 1940 there was only 1 senior Jewish Staff chaplain (Dayan Gollop) and a couple of others although obviously they were expanding slightly. I don't know exactly how many there were, but as Luc says, extrapolating the data from the numbers of Jewish personnel gives a ball park figure of requirements.
