The MM says:
"Size increased to Large or larger +1 to CR"

Does that mean that EACH increment above medium warrants +1 CR or only if they cross the medium -> large threshold?

If I take a creature that was already Large and make him Huge, do I add another +1 CR to him or was that already in his existing CR given he's already Large?

Thanks,

Overall the effects of a size change are increased reach, boosted attack rolls (unless it is a weapon finesse monster), boosted damage rolls (both from increased natural weapon size and more strength), better regular and flatfooted AC, worse touch AC, and a penalty to hide checks.

These effects are amplified the larger you get, so unless it is a finesse monster or stealth monster, a size increase from large on up warrants a CR boost.
