All -
I agree with Les; in the old days when some systems allowed only 3
authors then - because of alphabetic ordering - the team leader of a
particle physics experiment who obtained a Nobel Prize was not on the
author list in the system!
I'm afraid it is necessary to include all authors, possibly with some
method of highlighting those belonging to the institution at the time

That's a matter of policy, but it would seem to be a strange and
arbitrary policy that required a particular percentage of authorship to
be allowed in.
Many papers (especially in some disciplines) have large author lists:
you could inadvertently find yourself discriminating against some
departments in your institution.
