You need to learn how to do continuous warping. I did 16 x 4hole cards this afternoon and it took me about an hour - and that included the time taken to wind an extra ball of yarn.
Admittedly, I did have a six-year old helping untwist the 4 balls I was using (One for each hole). I think that was a net gain.... (It did help me avoid running out of hands.)
Use a plastic bag clip (the sort you use for freezers) to hold the ends of the yarn. Keeps them neatly in place and they don't move around.
How fine was your thread? Crochet yarn is usually really good for tablet weaving. But I don't think I'd bother with sewing thread as that would be an awful lot of effort for very little ribbon.

The size of the cards should be irrelevant.
