Just LOOKING at the map you can tell it's going to have a similar amount of exploreable landmass to Kalos, the artwork of Alola is just zoomed out to establish the distance between the islands in the ocean.
What would you rather have, small towns connected by narrow north-south or east-west corridors lined with trainers that actually BYPASS most of the "land" seen in the promotional artwork of each region, leaving a huge percentage of what's seen on the map completely inaccessible; or larger, more fleshed out locations that blend contiguously into each other more like how real life places are structured?
