In previous times they have started out allowing people 4 tickets, then
sent emails offering more tickets. Last time I asked for 4 tickets and
got 8, although that might have just been an administrative mistake (I
could only use 4 in any case). My friends usually apply for 4 tickets
each to make sure we're swimming in tickets by the event, then
everyone's covered. I'd be surprised if they didn't always send out more
tickets than the capacity of Donington, on the grounds that some tickets
always go unused.
