How are you calculating crew size? I did some measurements on a Rifter once and came to the conclusion you couldn't squeeze more than about 3 people onto the command "deck."
A rifter is about the size of a 747 so I'm hoping that throughout the ship there is more than 3 people.
I assume that the crew has about three shifts so that only one third are on duty at one time. Of course in battle the other shifts would have stations to assist and be ready to jump in should someone get injured.
Short answer: I just make an educated guess based on how I envision the interiors of the ships.
