I think you can do very slightly better by using great circle distances rather than straight lines cutting through the earth. After all, I think that's what this model is doing.

Sure, it could be half the circumference of the earth instead of the diameter. The circumference is pi times the diameter, so half the circumference is a little over 1.5x the diameter -- the sun could be 3mm across instead of 2mm.
