I think there is a disconnect somewhere in our understanding of what
you're doing. When you say 'private tor network', I take that to mean:

- you are running your own directory authorities
- you are runnning your own tor relays which are configured for your
  directory authorities
- you have configured a client tor to use the directory authorities

None of the above involves Vidalia. Vidalia is a controller for tor
with a subset of functionality available in the torrc configuration
file.

Once you have a tor client configured to talk to your private directory
authorities, then you just simple fire up vidalia and connect to that
tor client. What you see in the Network Map will simply reflect the size
of your private tor network. The tor client is doing the work, vidalia
is just a pretty display of everything.
