Note: we're talking about 22kt NOT 22k pop.
22kt = 2200 pop
22k = 22000 pop.
22kt = 2200 pop is the maximium amount an AR can ship at once without suffering 5% losses in transit. That makes it a natural size for colonising reds.
It's a tiny number, I know, but thanks to the sqrt formulas they generate a lot more resources than you'd expect.
At this point in the game it's also such a trivial amount of pop that you can happily spam them out from your homeworld without noticably affecting your growth.
With ultras so close, I wouldn't bother sending larger populations to reds at this stage. But that does depend on the exact situation.
