Looking at doing a crossing in July, probably leaving Mt Dare 14th and taking a bit of a slow zig zag route across, getting into Birdsville 5 or 6 days later.

I am not an experienced "desert" driver so appreciate any proper/detailed advice. I was informed the leader of a convoy would only need one. Not sure if that would work if you're leaving a gap and there is oncoming vehicles. I am all for safety and would like to do the right thing.

Fair enough, the reality is that as you crest even a small dune, you will be blind for a couple of seconds, I'm sure we all appreciate when the oncoming driver has a sand flag. Just makes things much safer.
There is a thread on here for home made sand flags. Or you can by one for about $130.
