The number of tombstones in Hang Em High match up with the original number of Spartans..
That's not correct. The number of tombstones in Hang em High matches the number of Spartans at the end of FS that are KIA/MIA

There are 68 tombstones on the MP map Hang Em High. Of course, that number by itself isn’t interesting. However, when you subtract 68 from 75, which is the number of Spartan II’s (75 Spartans), then you get the number 7 ... that’s not the abnormal part. At the end of First Strike there are 7 Spartan II’s who aren’t listed as KIA/MIA, which would leave 68 of the original Spartan IIs dead or MIA (Spartans never die:), hence there being 68 tombstones! One can easily find that the Master Chief, Will, Linda, and Fred are alive at the end of First Strike, but that would only add up to 4 Spartans II's. However, when you add to this small group the 3 spartans who weren’t present for the PoA mission because they were engaged on fields of combat too distant to be easily recalled (p.240, TFoR) .Then one comes up with the number of Spartans in the Halo universe, which would be 7, that aren’t listed as MIA/KIA.
And here is a quote from Jamie Griesemer
Almost nothing in Halo 1 was random.
