Do lenses need to be made with more precision for Hasselblad's 60MPix camera?

Question

One of Hasselblad's cameras has a Double-Full-Frame sensor.

Does that mean that the lenses needed for it are incredibly more complex to build (to have a sharp, high quality, abberation free image on the borders ?)

Answer

Back to film camera time, studio enthusiast where used to 6x6 (6cmx6cm) (or even 6x8) camera which have surface about 4 times the 24x36 (24mmx36mm).

If you look (as exemple) at the Zeiss lense for such camera (as exemple for Hasselblad body) you can see that the same optical formula are also used for 24x36 lenses (Zeiss optical formula is indicated by the name Planar, Distagon, Tessar,...)

Theses lenses are bigger and usually build for high-end users but designs are not very different
