Yes.  For an example, let's say your separation is 0.01 and you want to change
it to 0.005.  Imagine you're shooting at a 1x1 square.  With 0.01 separation,
you have a grid of 100x100 photons, or 10,000 photons.  Now, if you have a
separation of 0.005, you increase to 200x200 photons, or 40,000 photons total.

This means that if you halve the spacing, you get 4 times the number of
photons.  If you use 1/3 the spacing, you will have 9 times the number of
photons.  If you scale the spacing by 1/n, you will get n*n times as many
photons.
