i am thinking of this correctly?
You are thinking correctly in terms of calculating a new K value if you changed injectors on a DE from 259cc to 333cc. But that does not mean that Calum has the "wrong" K value in his VE tune. I say this because it's a different engine and (I'm assuming) a different fuel map. Different engines (VE vs. DE or even one VE compared to another VE) need different amounts of fuel under different conditions (load and RPM) and the values in the fuel map influence the injector pulse width as well as the K value.
At some point, one shifts from theoretical calculations to tuning with empirical observations using a wide band. Calum has done that for his VE tune. That said, further customization of the tune using a wide band will be needed to optimize it for another car -- this could involve changing K to other values to provide more or less fuel across the fuel map. Then the individual cell values on the fuel map can be used to make more specific changes.
