Essentially you get a multiplier to dDR because a ship with a large percentage of it's mass in Armor is going to have a reduced volume because of Armor's high density, and a smaller volume ship has less surface area which will increase the Armor's thickness and thus it's dDR.

Which is totally irrelevant for ships other than flying bricks.
