I don't see a problem with this. If you ship a 400 pound package, why shouldn't it cost more than a 200 pound package half the size?
this is the kind of issue where i'm not sure where to draw the line. as a traveler, it can sometimes be uncomfortable to be seated next to an extremely large person. however, in the quest for sardine dollars, the airlines have reduced the size of the seat through the years. as cbelt3 suggests, how far will it go? who gets to determine what a 'normal' size person should be and how much room they need around their butt?
