I'd say that what Pecky means is that the cost of engineering staff can be spread across more cars so the cost per car (and therefore the cost borne by the V8 team) is reduced.
In a similar manner, the amortised cost of all the engineering plant, equipment, software etc would also be spread across more cars, meaning less cost per car as above.
Thinking about it, the same could probably be said of all overhead / fixed expenses for the business.
On top of that, having more cars and needing more consumables (such as K nuts, rod ends etc) could allow better deals to be done meaning that again, the cost per car would decrease.
