Still, then the probability for teh armor to be hit depends on the ratio struture/size.
Small armor: size,struct = 1kt,2kt
Big armor: size,struct = 10kt,7kt

Then for a size of 10kt you can have:
10 small => struct of armor=10*2=20
1 big => struct of armor=1*7=7
So the small armore have 3 time more chances to be hit that if using big armor.

Am I still wrong?
Your numbers are wrong. Actually, those armors would almost never be hit before other components because they have fewer hit points than nearly all non-armor components (as most have 10 or more hit points). You'll have to get the actual calculations from SJ though, as he is the one that came up with the leaky armor system. All I know is that it works. Go try it out in the combat simulator.
