No, not hundreds of times larger. Maybe ~5% larger.

It sounded extremely improbable to me, so tried googling and I wasn't able to find anything that would back up such claims. Can you provide a source for the information that MicroSD cards have more than e.g. double total physical capacity?
SD cards are many, many times larger than you think they are - often hundreds of times larger. This is because they use wear leveling to avoid read/writing too much to any one bit.
It is quite possible that this one SD card could have hundreds of TB of storage space on it. I have often wished there were some easy way to access all of this space for situations where you know that you only want to write once to the card - meaning you know you only want to write once. Would be great for storage.
