Your question begins with an invalid assumption. That space is reserved for register "spill", so that any special registers can be saved there if they will be used, without affecting the stack. If a function uses no special registers then the space won't be used (and might not even exist - it's compiler-dependent if it's even there).
The size of the space is fixed, so it's completely independent of the number of parameters.
