If you don't provide icons for the various sizes, then the desktop
environment will resize them for you as-needed.  If you notice that the
automatic resizing doesn't look very good at certain sizes (say, a 48x48
reduced to 16x16), then you can provide an explicitly sized icon for the
smaller (or larger) size.  Whether you need multiple icons or not really
depends on the icon and how good it looks when the desktop environment
resizes it.
