Sorry, I'm not following this, we are talking about post-assembly fluid replacement and not design parameters or capacities.

Does the desired total amount of trans fluid vary depending on the use of the car? No way, because this is completely unpredictable; however, if it's the same quantity for every unit, the replacement procedure should also be the same.

I must be missing something obvious (or sinister, heh).
