It depends on the tones some tones use much more "space" then others.
For example VA-76 has about 64MB of tones but some tones use up to 4 multisamples.

Roland waveforms in the JV/XP series were always compressed using Roland's own propietary audio compression. It was around a 2:1 ratio that allowed Roland to provide more waveforms in ROM. I can't recall that there was anyone else other than Roland doing this. I guess now they announce it when they aren't compressing audio waveforms as a marketing feature.
