In the sense that lift is linear by volume yes, but the driving complexity I expect would increase superlinearly.

If you're strapping 10 things together, you're now dealing with a much less rigid structure, the straps/scaffolding are significant points of failure, and the attachment points don't scale the same way so you have to add an even more complex (and tangle-able) web of cabling for your payload.
