It's not as simple as more tape. While a larger area of tape will warm a larger area of cage, it all needs to be controlled and NOT run at full on. Either a dimmer or a thermostat.
The heated area really depends on the ambient temp of your room and with multiple species with a wide temp range, the room will have to be kept not really warm. In my warm rooms, each of which houses a single species, the heated area can be ~1/4 of the tub. In a cooler room I'd go more towards ~1/2.
