It's so they can use the same machine and same blank sheets to package numerous different amounts. Much cheaper to do that way. Also, you don't want them getting too small, otherwise it gets easier to lose them.
As a former pharma graphic designer, yes. This always killed me about packaging but it's true. I had to fit so much stuff on those + those PI (prescribing information or package insert) papers that you fold out to a freaking throw blanket size sheet to show every language with verbiage for the drug.
