You are correct, larger volume means more surface area means more interaction between the gasses and the suppressor.
But when one ounce of water when vaporized turns into 9 gallons of steam (at normal atmospheric pressure) it becomes impossible to create a suppressor that can actually contain the volume of gas produced (well you could, but no one really wants a 55 gallon drum on the end of a rifle).
Your best bet is to look at the amount of surface area you can pack into a suppressor instead of total volume (within reason, and really there are no new suppressor designs as they have been around commercially since around the turn of the last century if I recall correctly).
