I believe the number you're looking at in the .cfg is a multiplier. Each class of ship has its own renown value, if the renown value is 250 and you sink an Allied ship of that class you get a renown award of 250 x 1.
As far as I can tell there are things other than tonnage that figure into a class's renown value, for instance whether it's a warship or merchant or (heaven forbid) a hospital ship, whose renown value would end up being such a large negative number when applied to your career stats that it would probably end said career if you ever sank one.
