Default Biscuiting a miter joint?

I made my first biscuited miter joint last week; with two 15" wide panels
and three biscuits.
It did not come out well; no matter how much I fussed with it I couldn't
eliminate the gap. Possibly no one would have noticed it, but I sure didn't
like it. (it couldn't have been too bad, as it held my full weight jumping
on it...)
So, I am redoing it, being more careful that my cuts are perfect, and only
using two biscuits.



What size biscuits? If they're 20s and you substitute a 10, does it go
away?
