I think her point was that the Government being defeated 421 v 198 is not going to make much of a difference than if it was 420 v 198.
That's definitely how I interpreted that sentence too, with what we know about the predicted outcome of this vote, she's most likely correct. Not that that would be a reason not to let someone vote of course.

Not quite.
"If what we're hearing is true and there are hundreds and hundreds of people voting against it then that one vote is not really going to make a difference."
I think her point was that the Government being defeated 421 v 198 is not going to make much of a difference than if it was 420 v 198. Not that her specific vote is not worth anything.
As others have pointed out, the voting in the four amendments being voted on before the main Brexit vote are a slightly trickier beast to try and handle via pairing (assuming you're back to trusting the Tories to do that properly).
Parliament needs to sort out Proxy voting (and the limits of who can use it) as soon as possible.
