The DIAMETER of such an area is very roughly 12 percent of Earth's CIRCUMFERENCE. So you could (probably) lay 8 of these areas around the equator, give or take a a couple.

The earth’s circumference is ~4E4 km; the diameter of this circle is ~8E3 km. That’s 20%, not 2%. 2% would be utter madness.

20%, not 2%. So just under 5 would stretch around the equator.
