Are there usually this many teams signed up for a third Michigan district?

I believe part of why there are so many teams this year is because there are over 200 teams in Michigan this year, but only just (205 or 206 I think). So if every team gets 2 district events with 40 teams each, that leaves those 5 or 6 teams outside the traditional 10 districts we've had in the past. So Bedford was added relatively last minute to accommodate the teams that needed it, but since there were so few it allowed a lot of space for extra teams to sign up for a third event.

This is much more than usual, in the past there have usually been 10 or less teams that got a third event.

Hopefully that all makes sense and somewhat answers your question.
