So Phase 2 won't need as many trains as may appear.

I hope they alternate. Both Baseline and Moodie have major destinations for east-enders. Baseline has Algonquin College and the City of Ottawa offices at 100 Constellation, and of lesser importance Centrepointe Theater and a DND office building. Moodie has Abbott pharmaceuticals and of course the new DND HQ. I'm sure a decent group of east-enders also work in Kanata.
As others have mentioned, Stage 2's average speed will be much higher thanks to the longer distance between stations which allows trains to operate at or near full speed (105 km/h), so math that works for Stage 1 does not apply to Stage 2.
