How does that improve the situation? One spark and it all goes boom. It’s not the relative size of the leaks to the volume of storage that matters, it’s the fact that even a small leak will go boom very easily.

Nah, in this context they are talking about hydrogen having so small molecules that it escapes from all containers you put it in. Increasing size of container decreases relative leak per volume (due to previously explained math).

Problems of the booming nature is a different topic.
