Team A may not break it's huddle with 12 or more players.
This would (in NCAA) mean to me that you cannot have more than 11 in the huddle except for the 3 second interval between a substitute entering it and the replaced player leaving it.
Not sure if they have something similar in NF.

NOthing this complex in the NF rules for subs. It just states the the replaced player must leave the field immediately. Sounds like the NCAA rules gives more informaiton as to what they consider immediately. There is no penalty for breaking the huddle with 12 in NFHS unless one of those 12 doesn't leave immediately.
