It is easy to assume that the Executive is just the Cabinet (about 20?), which itself grows over time as ministries are split, (the Home Office begat the Ministry of Justice), and May created the Department of Exitting the EU.
However all the junior ministers who believe they are on a career path are locked in to voting with the Government which adds a third dimension to whether MPs are elected because of their own personal opinions, (which may/may not map onto the most recent GE manifesto), or, are delegates who should vote according to views of their constituents. Expanding the Executive to 140 undermines Parliamentary democracy as these 140 now have no opportunity, beyond resigning, to express any view contrary to that of the Government.
