You only need 1 WINS server for your organization (or 2 for redundancy).
We have multiple subnets here at OSU and only 2 WINS servers. Our DHCP
servers had out the WINS server IP addresses to all clients, and Samba is
configured to use them as well. You DO need a master browser on each
subnet.

All of this is well documented in the Official Samba HOWTO in Chapter 10.
