How many sources should you incorporate in the 25 marker?
One source per paragraph/idea or is that too many?

I'd say 4-6 per paragraph. You really only need 2-3 but they like it when you test the reliability of sources against other sources.

IMO it's better not to think of it as 'how many sources per essay' or 'how many sources per paragraph'. What you need to be doing is making sure that you are substantiating all of your claims with evidence.
