Actually, I think Liberator is huge compared to the London-- so much so that in a later episode, footage from SpaceFall is re-used because someone failed to notice the tiny speck of the London model in the footage. So even if Liberator is "only" five times the size of the London, there are six and then five bio-crewmembers in a ship that could probably hold 250 people.
Not necessarily. The vast size of the Liberator could well be mostly engines and guns, leaving a very small volume for crew and passengers.

I suppose the amount of space available for people depends upon how many the plots involved demanded (g) - at least a dozen (eg Mission to Destiny), and what the Liberator was originally intended to do.
As The System describes it as a Deep Space Vessel, it probably contains significant storage areas - for whatever the equivalent of 'a five year mission to explore....' a la Star Trek. That is why it might have been caught up in the space battle in the first place - the crew got curious and too close.
