My bands usually became very big and hard to manage when I'm finally setting up my layout view
Regen All should fix it. What I do when manually making view port is to save views in MS, then restore in the vports and set the scale.

When you create a new drawing it will have a default layout with a sheet size of 8 1/2 by 11 (assuming you have not changed the default settings for new layouts). When you first access that layout, the viewport will be zoomed out to the extents of your model space which will be a very large scale for such a small sheet. Because of the large zoom scale all the annotation will be sized accordingly to large text heights which makes a mess such as you show in your screen capture. As you zoom the viewport to smaller scales and Regen, the text sizes will adjust and become more readable. So once you set up your sheet size and set the viewport scale to a realistic size the annotation should rescale and cleanup with a REGEN.
After a second look at your screen capture I may have misdiagnosed your problem. Some of your profile text is readable and some is not. Therefore I suspect you have made changes to some of the text heights in the style that are out of proportion with the rest. Remember C3D will multiply your text height settings in the style according to your drawing scale. So if you want your text to plot at 0.1" high on your sheets, you should set the text height in your style to 0.1. If you want it to plot at 0.2" high, set it to 0.2 in the style, and so on. When the text is displayed in a viewport, C3D will multiply the text heights by the viewport scale to make them plot at the right height.
How do you set MS annotation scale and VP annotation scale?
Also, please see my attachments, this is what my model and layout look like. Basically, I want my layout to look the same as the model with the same sizes for annotations
One more thing to check is your drawing units vs layout plot scale. If one is metric and other imperial it could cause a problem.
