All of the buildings in the Hudson Yards have a base FAR of about 10. (The railyard itself is different). The sizes are increased through DIBs (district improvement bonuses) and further increased to maximum FARs through transfers from the railyards. It's very similar to what they are doing with the Midtown East rezoning that will give us towers like 1 Vanderbilt.
What they are purchasing here would bring the tower up to its current planned size. With a different design they could go taller, but that isn't what's planned.
Here's how it works for this particular site...
