6:40

So they sat down: There is implied information here. The disciples first did what Jesus said (that is, told the people to sit down). Then the people sat down. If you need to include the implied information, you could say:

So the disciples did what Jesus said, and the people sat down

in groups of hundreds and fifties: Some of the groups had one hundred people, and other groups had fifty people. There was probably enough space between the groups for someone to walk through.
