I hadn't thought about it, but the bonus DV from having a large number of fuel tanks should be calculated somehow using the total mass of a ship's load if using external clamps... Will have to come up with better formula...

That's what the Rocket Equation does - RogerBW explained it here in response to a previous question of mine on how to calculate performance for Clamped vessels.
Assuming I've done the calculation correctly, the figures from the 'Rocket Equation' account for the full mass of the connected vessels (assuming full cargo load too), and the full fuel mass.

Another possibility would be to consider the whole 'train' as a single larger SM vessel.
