The numerous types of wings I tested (delta wing type things) all resulted in 5.05 (100kg -> 505kg, 20kg -> 101kg etc.). Now that I've gone back and tested further, I've seen it as high as 9.06. Most seem to lie in the range 5 - 10x. At any rate, while this is certainly more realistic, many aircraft which would have prior been sane designs are nigh-inoperable (could perhaps have something to do with these new smaller flaps as well?)

I've noticed something rather annoying - FAR seems to be multiplying the mass of wings by a factor of 5.05, if KER's readout is accurate. I've scoured the options and config files and nothing seems to indicate this as a "feature" so I'd chalk it up to a bug. I've checked with on old 0.24 install, and the mass did not appear multiplied there. This coincides with aircraft seeming significantly more difficult to get off the ground in this version, especially if they require a lot of wings - for instance FAR's "strato whale" has a total mass of well over double with FAR installed as compared to a stock install.
