It is not that class change from 30 to 40 when go higher. It is the cohort that MOE start to have 30. It would remain like this when this cohort moves up. If I am not wrong, it starts with children born in 1998.
For your info, whether P1&2 in pm session, P3-6 in am session (as mentioned by MOE), it actually depends on individual sch. I know ACS is not like this.
I don't know MOE is abolishing GEP classes. From what I heard from my girl, her sch still has 3 classes of GEP. How many per class, don't know. I ever heard one mummy said, her girl in neighbourhood sch (without GEP programme) but results very good, went for my girl's sch for GEP exam, if pass, can transfer to the sch but unfortunately, she couldn't get in. It seems the exam is about Maths.
Besides the 3 GEP classes, there are 2 top classes out of total 10 per level. The children from these 2 classes are group after P2 exams. So you see, there is still streaming based on results. Didn't MOE said no streaming? Only when your child is in that sch, come back and tell you, then you know is totally different situation.

My girl's sch is RGPS. Chinese P4 syllabus don't come out in P3 exams. But for English, there is no boundaries. Anything under the sun can come out.
