Thank you all. Without a code rule that specifically addresses this issue, i think more EGC is better, to be safe.
One properly sized EGC would be the minimum required for a single raceway like a wireway so I don't see why in free air more than one would be required. You could certainly use more than one if so desired.

they would all need to be the 250.122 minimum size though can't combine ampacities like you can with the circuit conductors.
