That's close but I don't believe that's exactly what she said. She
said (shortly after saying there were 1000 students at Hogwarts) that
she developed histories and well defined personalities for 40
students, so naturally when she needs a student to do a bit of
business or even just requires a spear carrier she would tend to use
one of those 40, but that doesn't mean they are the only students
there. She probably thought figuring out detailed histories for 1000
students or even 145, would be excessive and a waste of time, 40 is
impressive enough.
