Public Event scaling (Destiny)

Has Bungie talked at all about the scale of public events? How many people can be involved with one? Assuming thousands of people intend to engage a single public event (seems reasonable, given playlist populations in MP shooters) how do thousands of people take on one task? I don't mean to raise this question as a rhetorical criticism, by the way. I'm pretty sure everyone with their thinking caps on saw the implied asterisk after "Shared World" as there is no conceivable way for tens of thousands of people to genuinely, actually share the in-game universe. Surely there will be parallel instances.

Sorry if this has been addressed; I looked for an answer, but I've only seen speculation (which makes me think we just don't know).
