This actually tells us something completely unexpected: Company Sword adds to the calculation of Base Damage, not to the actual DMG rating on the weapon. Here's the reasoning:
Theoretical DMG ratings:
1 - 46
2 - 46
3 - 48
4 - 50
5 - 52
6 - undefined
Following the trend, with 6 members we should have a base damage of 54. Unfortunately, we run into a problem mathematically.
54 + floor( 54 / 9 ) +8 = 54 + 6 + 8 = 68
68 * 3 = 204
If Company increased the base DMG directly, I would have seen a crit of 204. However, I did not. Therefore, without further ado, the damage formula modified for Company Sword:
Damage = (D + fSTR + 2n) * pDIF, where n = (number of members in your party) - 2
