Most of the generalizations about winter configuration are based on Italians that have filled a hive with bees and brood and some supers with honey. Usually in a cold climate they require two ten frame deeps, or three ten frame mediums or four eight frame mediums, with about 125 to 150 pounds of weight total (hive + bees + stores).
If you have a smaller cluster than that, then you need less room and less stores. If you have a more frugal race you may have a smaller cluster because of that and need less room and less stores.
