Actually, the ptolemy-hackers mailing list and the
comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroups are probably better places for
Ptolemy Classic questions at this point.  

The faq at:
http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyclassic/ptolemy.faq
describes how to get access to the mailing list

Wow, 33 port is a lot of ports.  Could you use a bus here instead?
You could try messing around with the scaling.  It would seem like the
icon for this galaxy should be larger than the usual galaxy icon.
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do this, as my guess is that
make-schem-icon automatically places the terminals, and is not really set
up to handle 33 in and 33 out ports.

Maybe someone on Ptolemy-hackers has seen this sort of thing before.
There is a little info about changing the number of terminals at:

You can choose the font size when you use the Edit-Label command.
There should be a Text Height entry widget in the dialog box that
comes up.  See:
