Yes, Regina claims Storybrooke is a small town. That doesn't make it a fact, as mmmmmmmmmmmmmagic means the town could be much vaster than we've ever seen. 1) Now that we know that the EF is merely one PART of a larger world, I doubt that its population is as vast as you think it is.

2) The reference to Storybrooke being a small town comes from more than just Regina. All of the "recap specials" that ABC has aired also refer to it as a "small town", and I can recall Adam and Eddy referring to it as a "small town" as well on occasion (although exact specifics of when and in what capacity escape me at the moment).
