Hello, Marvin,
Support/need = 320/0 means that HQ has 320 support squads, and needs 0 for itself; therefore it can lend the excess 320 to its subordinate units. By the way, each support squad requires a vehicle - so the number of vehicles required by the HQ unit is the same as the number of support squads it has.
On your turn 1 your combat units will have something like Support/need = 400/300, so it needs 400 support squads, and has 300 in its TOE, so it needs 100 from the HQ. Assuming the HQ is in range, it has enough vehicles, and its leader passes a check, it will send 100 support squads to this combat unit, so on turn 2 the combat unit will show Support/need = 400/400. There is a button in the combat unit that tells where the 400 support squads came from (that is, 300 from itself, and 100 from the HQ).
If your combat unit does not have enough support squads, it will take penalties.
There's really no way to control how many support squads you have in your combat units and HQ, other than letting them rest and refit to reach their TOE; you can control how many support squads are lent by the HQ to the combat units by keeping the HQ close by the combat unit and having a good leader in it, and not having too many combat units assigned to one HQ.
ps: corrections welcome, if I got things wrong. That's how I understand it works.
