I'd say so, but with Control Rooms you're getting more than just the control stations. You're also getting a computer core, sensors, and maneuvering thrusters.

While I haven't checked it, and there may be consequences I wouldn't be happy with, I'd be tempted to give second and subsequent control rooms twice the number of control stations, since they don't have to 'rebuy' all of that.
