Most teams have a pretty good idea of the maximum number of people that are likely to make the trip. So, the team submits that number and FIRST allocates a number about 20% higher to fill an integer number of rows (that span seats from the aisle to the middle of the section). Having a relatively small number of extra seats available to the team will give people some "elbow room", allow for camera equipment, backpacks, scouting materials, give-aways, etc. without creating really large voids in the seating. Those extra seats will allow for others to visit with friends from other teams. Not to mention those who want to view competition of favorite teams in different divisions than their own team's.
