Each of those arrangements is a different network topology, and each topology has its advantages and disadvantages.
Imagine the journey of a piece of data through one of those
larger networks. What path will it take? When there are multiple paths, how
does it know which path is best?
Once networks become larger, routing strategies become more
important. There isn't a big difference between two stops and three stops in a
path, but there is a big difference between 20 stops and 300 stops.

The most common type of network is the Local area network
