Size the MCB with the cable rating
The MCB/RCBO is to protect the cable and not the appliance

Bumping your MCB to the next size because you added more sockets isn’t a good idea. The MCB is there to protect the cable, not the sockets or appliances. You’ve actually increased the risk of fire by doing that so I would recommend installing and correctly rated MCB.
