Actually, total life support is exactly the same per ship using the approach with a replicator or an "open space" garden/farm, regardless of the number of people or the length of the trip. It is only when using the habitat-enhancing approach that the burden is the same per person on all missions. And that is a rather inefficent approach, one that you would only take if the number of crew and passengers required on the trip were small compared to teh capacity of one habitat system.
