If you add internal armouring to the magazine this difference becomes substantial. On the other hand larger magazines lose less space to internal armouring. You are more likely to suffer at least one internal explosion using many smaller magazines, but the damage of the explosion will be smaller as well.
Does the contents of the magazine affect how much damage it deals when it explodes?
Will a size 10 magazine carrying 10 warhead 4 missiles explode more than one carrying 10 warhead 2 missiles?
If only the size matters, wouldn't lots of smaller magazines always be better, since it would be harder to lose an entire ship to a single damage point?
