These numbers are exponential, not linear, so the more cubes, the greater the benefit becomes.
Lot's of other variables come into play with fuel burn and efficiency.


More cubes moves more air, but usually more cubes also means more fuel, which is more heat, which is more air...see how this goes.


But, all things equal, the bigger engine will like a bigger charger more than a smaller one, but I would not really call anything linear.
