HS/SPO

where HS = the hull size under consideration, SPO = the Spaces Per One entry. Any fractions are rounded UP to the next whole number.

That is not correct. Any fractions are always rounded down, but a minimum of one component will be added.
SPO=10000 is commonly used to add one component to a design (note: if the hull is bigger or equal 20000, two components will be added).

Atrocities, your examples would work like this:
