I think I'd suggest we go with the number of bases that the army lists currently have (with the exception of the Huguenots). Has the advantage that people may well have that many bases anyway so already have the right number of markers.
Since they are associated with units now, the limits need to correspond to the number of units they can be attached to. And be exclusive to the ones we don't want them attached to (like, say, the carbine cavalry that everyone is putting them with in the current system).
So, in your example:
Early Gustavan Swedish 0-6
This could be a line in that list that says "Upgrade: Add commanded shot to Latta Ryttare or hakkapeliitta units - 0-6." Assuming they get that many units. If they get less, you could just say "any".
Might be worth thinking about whether we should take the minima out of the Early TYW Swedish in this suggestion, because with the commanded shot no longer being BGs it may be seen as an imposition and better left to a choice.
Probably still need a provision for 0-6 or 0-12 stands of unattached shot that are not commanded out to the cavalry.
