May 17, 2011 at 20:21 comment added Gerhard Paseman If you use q a prime or a power of a prime, then you can replace p+1 > c/2 with something like q+1 > 9c/10, or maybe 8c/9. Small cases plus estimates by Dusart should make something like 8c/9 apply in full generality. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.05.17
May 17, 2011 at 20:19 comment added Clinton Conley This is so much more reasonable than the approach in my answer! But I think it makes more sense just to have a huge number of pairwise disjoint sets of size $c-p-1$ and take as the sets in your family all unions of a line with one of these new sets (there's no reason for the new sets to correspond with the lines). This makes the "clearly the best $V$" part of your argument a little bit more clear (for me, anyway).
