As in habitats? We had 31416 habitats put forward to start with- I'd say it's easier to increase the capacity of the pods by ten-fold than have ten times as many habitats.

For unused space I would say that the Ark was close to full capacity (80%?) at the time of arrival and was expecting to add more habitats using the resources found in system.

Perhaps as the Ark was approaching, as they were transmitting tech know-how for grav drives, SQIDs and whatever, they also told us how to build a pod and efforts toward that were underway, so that it was ready to be hooked up on their flyby.
