The funny thing is there are so many more things that affect your EXP way more. Adding party members for example. Just because you CAN have a full group of 6 players, doesn't mean you should. Many times I've gotten my best EXP when duo/trio/quatro. I hate when I am in a low man group and we're doing fine, and the leader invites more people. Ya know what kills your EXP more than anything else possibly can? Not having enough mobs to kill.. having to wait on repops. Group composition, (I hate seeing a bard+enc in a group, or even worse the dreaded CLR+SHM+ENC that everyone loves so dearly... If you have a SHM+ENC and you need a cleric too, yer doin somethin wrong) bad players, AFK players (looking at you Fahndango!), and finally, gear. All of these things destroy your EXP more than any non-existent EXP "penalty" (rofl).
