I'd say yes as room-mates do not typically have the power to assign all other residents to one room.
Exactly.
So even if 4-5 people are crammed into one room (by choice), it's likely they're going to be using the kitchen, bathrooms etc. Even if the utilities are split evenly, there is still the inconvenience of having other people around.
This actually happened to me years ago. We had three guys for a three bedroom house. We each had our own room. Utilities were included, so that was a non-issue. Roommate #1 decides to get an additional roommate, and only have his rent decrease.
This introduced a 4th person into the house, along with a fourth persons dirty dishes, mess, bathroom use etc.

1/3 split even with the couple sharing the room. Hell the single person should be the one paying less because of all the shit you have to listen to when living with a couple.

Then I am even more firmly behind the 50/50 on the rent with 33/33/33 on the food and utilities.

For reals.
A 1/3 split is the way to go. Everything else in the house except for that room is split into thirds, living room, kitchin, bathroom, etc... They chose to split a room.
BTW, fuck living with couples.
