More spokes and/or shorter spokes (all other things being equal) mean more strength and rigidity. So 4 extra spokes are roughly 13% more steel and 13% more strength.
But more strength and rigidity can also mean less resilience and a shorter service life.
You can't take these things in isolation. A wheel is a system, and the various elements work with each other as part of that system not independently.
