It's not exactly the most well thought out game option is it?
It makes more sense, and I have only seen it used for, games with ten starting planets. There at least you have a chance of using a large portion of the resources before they go away.
Also you can ignore the resources and just think of it as a way to get a bigger boost to research at the game start, since you get the same number of those ponts as the other. I think that's probably what was intended for anyway.
But you can modify the settings.txt if you'd like and increase everyone's storage limit.
code:
Minimum Empire Point Storage := 50000
Just change that to 100k, or whatever you want.
