If there are more fighters than targets then the extra fighters will not have a target to start with. After the missiles hit the targets the rest of the fighters will be able to target what is left. This is assuming that the fighter missiles are doing enough damage to cripple or kill a target. If they aren't getting that much then the multiple target setup is not going to be much help. I have not used this is a while with missile fighters so there might be something that I am forgetting. You might also be able to fire a salvo of missiles and then have the fighters that did not fire retarget and fire on the next round (assuming good training levels, otherwise it might be a little longer). If you think that your fighters are carrying to many missiles for a single target you might want to restrict them to fewer than the full load of missiles and have them fire the rest on the next time around. If your missiles have any self guiding capability this would work fairly well even if the original target was destroyed.
