I have a fairly large roman republic, and about 4-5 characters eligible to be censor or legate, so I have tons of unled armies wandering around. Is there any way to get more?

There are various public office routes by which a character can become eligible to command an army or fleet:
Former Legate -> Legate
Consul or Former Consul -> Legate
Praetor -> Former Praetor -> Legate
Pontifex Maximus -> Former Pontifex Maximus -> Censor -> Former Censor -> Legate
Appointing a new praetor at regular intervals is probably the easiest way to get a stream of new legates.
Also, every now and again you'll get a message from the senate offering to appoint a character to a leaderless army, so you could always accept even if you don't get a very good commander.

It might be a good idea that in order to reduce the amount of legates you need, to attach some armies to their provinces letting the governor lead them. Keep in mind that those regional armies can't leave the region they are attached to (but they can still be used for offensive wars, the only thing that matters is that they do not leave the region) so it is less useful for really small regions (and unfortunately you can't transport those armies by sea).
