Well, no size RHP will itself make any area/volume too hot; the high temperature under the RHP is a function of the thermostat. An RHP that covers too much of the enclosure's area may make the hot spot too large, though.
That's what meant. The too large hotspot created by the RHP wouldn't allow for a proper temperature gradient.
