Yes, but if the districts are allocated using a sensible equal area,

The last thing you want is equal area. Land doesn't vote. People vote. You want equal population, not equal area. And that's what we have (roughly - and with gerrymandering).

If you want to better represent the voting population, you're on the right track with more representatives. 10 per district is probably unworkable, but 3 or 4 might work well. Let people vote for one representative on the slate, but the top 3 or 4 (or whatever number you pick) are elected. Of course, that would take a constitutional amendment, so don't look for it any time soon. If ever.
