You can adjust this at any time, even after some have been built. Another option is to use fighters. You want to retain as many officers working as possible, as officers who have not had any postings in 6-7 years are dismissed from service as the game thinks that they are unneeded. So just waiting for more senior officers to become available does not really work on the long run.
Utilize PDC's and commercial ships and fighters and staff duty to employ your R1 officers and as your fleet slowly grows, you should have R2 and above officers to captain actual fighting ships.
