I'm thinking you meant something else here, because this statement is patently incorrect.
The larger surface area of the radiator distributes heat further, causing each unit area of the cooling or active surface of the radiator to be closer to the temperature of the air flowing through it.
Greatest efficiency is achieved at a higher differential, ergo a smaller radiator distributing the same BTU would be "more efficient".
