Ilford says Ilford Rapid Fixer may be used for more than one film.
The maker doesn’t publish a rule for lengthening the time, so the calculator makes no correction.
Capacity, as the maker states it: 24 x 135-36 films per litre of working-strength (1+4) fixer, unreplenished.
ILFORD RAPID OR HYPAM FIXERS: Dilution 1+4; Time (mins) at 20 C 2-5; Capacity (films per litre, unreplenished) 24x (135-36).
