There's a 2% overhead of total tonnage for the breakaway hulls, so that would be an additional 280 tons on a 14,000 ton hull, not sure how you are dividing it their. You mention 1 on the drives and bridge, but 3 power plants but would need the drives and bridge for each section.
Only the Jump Section has a sophont crew, so only the Jump Section needs a Bridge, Life Support, and Staterooms. Each Section does require its own Computer though. The Sophont Crew on the Jump Section is 1 Astrogator.
