Yes, that's what you need to do.

For the alpha/beta (or sigmaa) calculation you need a certain number
of reflections per resolution bin to get reasonable estimates. Say
you have 10 bins, 2000/10 = 200 is a sufficiently large sample per
bin.
I have to admit I'm uncertain about the pros and cons of setting
aside a larger number of reflections.
