you build your quark or indesign doc at 50% i.e- 27 by 40 poster at 13.625x 20.125 which equals 27.250X40.250 when you write out a postcript file at 200%... the .250 is for bleed...
whithin your 50% mechanical your linked artwork is reduced at 50% meaning your image file is actually a 100% at final size the layout application is just handling the scaling.
artwork full size
mecahnical at 50%
it's all scaling math... it's usually done because design agencies don't have large format printers but they can output 13x20 comps/stats
