I would like to point out that the most efficient way to deal with the the AMM concerns is to use a smaller first stage missile carrying only one less second stage missiles.
For now (5.6) there is no reason to use a size-26 missiles to carry four submunitions. You could just as well use two size-13 missiles to carry two submunitions each.
Both of these alternatives have exactly the same costs (minerals, manufacturing, required tonnage) and the same characteristics (speed, range, warhead), but the second alternative is much harder to spot on active sensors (it will only be spotted at 42% of the range), and there will be twice as many target for enemy AMMs to address.
This is on top of other benefits, like reduced reload rate, reduced research costs, and more flexibility in engaging multiple targets or finishing off stranglers.
So if the first stage does not have any sensors, it is usually more efficient to use a single second stage on each (individually smaller) bus.
