There is 1 type of LS which I have included and is size 10kt and cost 25; don’t worry about the economic unit but the integer price is relevant so I must list it for you.
There is 1 type of CQ which I the question revolves around (obviously it is not included yet) and is supposed to do double duty and is 10kt at cost 5.
Put them together and you have 1 LS and the equivalent of 2 CQ at 20kt and cost 30.
You also have 1 CQ/LS component at 10kt cost 15.
...
For example on a 22 hull space frigate you could use the combined unit for 10kt at cost 15. On something like a 130 hull space Dreadnaught you would need 5 combined units for 50kt at cost 75. The single unit LS and double duty CQ by comparison would be 1 LS and 3 CQ for 30kt at cost 35.
So a double duty CQ can support 50 hull spaces and 1 LS can support 5 double duty CQ’s. A combined LS/CQ can only support 25 hull spaces of crew.

Ok, the idea is to make a SEP component and a CMB component, both of which will include both lifesupport and crew quarter ability.
For the frigate, you make a mount, which changes the sizes and costs to:
CMB - 10size/15cost
SEP - 20size/30cost
On the dread:
CMB - 50size/75cost
SEP - 30size/35cost
Overall, it kind of begs the question of why you really need to bother with offering the choice. For any one hull, there will be an optimum choice.
