Are "Ramadan baskets" considered expiatory offerings (kaffarat), and if so, how can one calculate the number of people each basket suffices for, especially since their contents vary?

It is obligatory to make up for the missed fasts before the next Ramadan begins. If someone delays making up the fast until the next Ramadan due to ignorance of the prohibition of delay, then only making up the fast is required of them. However, for one who knows the prohibition of delay and neglected it, in addition to making up the fast, they must feed a poor person for each day. The amount of food for feeding is one mudd (approximately 750 grams of rice), and a bag containing three kilograms of rice is sufficient for the expiation and more.
