I can see both sides of this. If you spend the money to add extra oxygen to your emergency oxygen bottle that starts in your internals box (via the oxygen vendors), you get a surprising amount of leeway when walking around in a depressurized station. But, on the other hand, if you somehow lose your internals - which has happened to me - you can get utterly screwed over. Trying to scavenge for oxygen on a ship that has been massively depressurized with Antags on the loose is a fricken nightmare.
If the amount of oxygen in those starting oxygen bottles was doubled, but you were far less likely to find a second bottle, I think it would be a fine compromise. You're not meant to be living off internals anyhow, but if push comes to shove that amount of oxygen should allow all of the crew more time to do things in a vacuum, including doing ship repairs to get things back to normal.
