1) How would a small, young several month old have any time to "bond"? Doesn't that go totally against your own advice and practice?
2) Feeding them to get size is all that it takes, it doesn't necessarily have to have anything to do with them being in a communal group at all.
3) Also, just because you had a number of small females lay, that sure as heck doesn't mean they naturally lay better, bigger, and/or healthier clutches than larger females do. All that means is that by the time YOURS get larger they are probably more used up and "spent" from triple-clutching them as you say you do as compared to the younger (smaller) virgin "up-coming" females, so it only seems that way to you.
