I don't know, ask the homeless woman who paid nothing but committed fraud by claiming that she lived in a school district she didn't live in so that her daughter could get into a better school.

Not exactly apples to apples, but I think that the two cases show that a lot of factors come into play, way beyond just the size of the payment. GR as a former prosecutor (and I believe also a public defender) has forgotten more about this than I will ever know so I would defer to him. My best guess is that "in for a penny in for a pound" applies. A larger bribe might get a marginally longer sentence, but the biggest factor is that she committed the crime in the first place.
