Not really. I could up it to 0.333 cabins, but then you'd get more cargo capacity out of Steerage Cargo than you'd get out of a Cargo Hold (1 habitat of Steerage Cargo yields 5 tons capacity; 3 SM+5 Cargo Holds yield 4.5 tons cargo capacity). This is more a systemic problem, as the Spaceships rules themselves cheat here (really SM+6 should only allow 0.6 habitats, but Spaceships cheats and gives it 1 habitat; that means that when I originally set SM+5 habitats as being 0.2 it was technically "more correct," as 0.2 falls within the normal x1/x3/x10 progression - 0.2/0.6/2/6/etc.).
