I'm not certain what you mean by "linear in area," here. My assumption is that the DR of GURPS force screens scale with weight (of the generator) and surface area (of the projected field) in the same manner as the DR of armor does, because that's the way force screens in
GURPS Spaceships scale. It's certainly possible that concentrating it down into such a small area would result in a loss of efficiency, of course, but a starting value of DR 12,810 gives a lot to work with.
