The 'known participants' section above infers that there are no more than we see in the episode, which I believe is wrong. Evidently (from the previous episode) there are more 1st year students than there are launch pads, so it is porobable that they're launched in waves.

Even if not, and everyone really had an own launch pad - I'm saying that because the pads were imprinted with the individual's sign - then the number we actually see is for function of paracticability of display on screen only. Hence only the focus protagonists of THIS episode are in view - the absence of the other has no deeper meaning than 'they didn't fit in the space available'.
