Hmmm, what about this.
Petroleum
Efficiency = 67%
13% : Active : provides 29%
41% : Constr : potential 99%
32% : Active : provides 73%
Daily Prod = 247,815
Daily Demd = 341,263
29 + 73 = 102%
I assume this is a rounding error and it is actually 28 + 72 = 100%.
------------------------------
Or what about this?
Electricity
Eff 67%
30% : Active : provides 14%
Daily Prod = 85,359
Daily Dem 113,549
What is producing the other 86% of my electricity? Surely not Mom & Pop's.

As Sierra in Mexico, I've gone for heavy agriculture. Ive got say 5 or 6 agri centres (wild guess) and am spending a good 25 billion a year for efficiency.
Q is- If I decide to build another 10 or so agri centres, will efficiency take a hit due to the size of my agri industry? Is there an 'optimum' size for an industry for cost/unit?

If you build more "Farms" then the amount you are investing in efficieny will not have as big an impact. There really isn't any optimal setting here, you really just have to judge based on the scenario that you're in, whether any industry is worth really developing to take best advantage of shortages your neighbors may have.

impact on price
Efficiency investment is expensive, but if you don't invest, your prices will rise very soon. So no profit is made. It is very difficult to determine what the good setting for efficiency.
