It doesn't matter really. Whether you are producing 5 components at a time with 2 per ship or all of them at once with 1 per ship. You pay the same maintenance on them. In fact you could argue that producing all of them at once is more expensive because you are also paying maintenance on the extra ships and you will be paying maintenance on all the extra starbases floating around stars that are being built ahead of time as the single generator producing ship wanders around further and further behind taking twice as long to produce the Last starbase.

Others produce 2 he produces 1 on and on with a steady build up of the 1 extras leading to massive upkeep costs! ARGGGG!!!!

Oh and Last I checked it took 1 extra turn to produce a ringworld or sphereworld generator as compared to producing 2 cable or plating component starbases.
