I am not sure that I would bother with the MF javelinmen. The MF archers would be better as an 8.

You don't need the SG as an FC unless you plan to flank march - unlikely with this army IMO.

There really isn't much point in having the jinetes and mounted crossbowmen as armoured - take them as Protected.

So if you change the MF javelinmen to LF, have 8 MF archers, switch the FC SG for a TC, and take the jinetes and mounted xbowmen as Protected,
you have 36 points to spare - which is enough for another BG of protected jinetes, or a BG of LF crossbowmen. or a third TC SG, which might be better.

They are good options
Thanks
