From what I remember of the post announcing how they coded roads and such from years ago, it requires decently complicated and very time consuming university level graphing maths that they needed to be perfectly precise.

It probably would be a pain to recode all of it for a smaller map, and would require a very capable coder. Mevans has proven to be capable of pulling of stuff like this but he probably couldn't be bothered to recreate the entire map.

If he did it by an integers of 8x it probably would be most feasible as he wouldn't have to recreate the entire map and each pixel would represent a chunk. (shrinking by other sizes would be very awkward as each pixel would represent awkward numbers such as 12.8x12.8 blocks and anything below 8x is smaller than a chunk which is also impossible to generate as spacial map.
