If I'm not mistaken, larger keys require more qbits in a machine to all be coherent together to be able to break it.

So it would be a slight increase in complexity, but if we are able to build a machine with enough qbits to crack 1024 keys, I don't think the engineering is all that far off from slightly scaling things up 2x-10x.
