When the map is played, you have to click on these white squares to select provinces, so they should be fairly big, yes?

NO! Per Province you should place a single white pixel only: When clicking on the map, the game simply selects the province of the nearest white pixel to the click point!
Furthermore, the province flags a placed on top of each white pixel, so you can easily see where provinces are. Therefore in my map, I choose a high resolution in order to hide the little white spots for esthetic reasons. However this has other problems, like being unable to zoom out to view the entire map...
...there are also people around who propose to mark the white pixel by adding a small btight yellow circle around each white pixel, so that a human can spot the provinces easily without the need for dom2 to display flags. This especially helps others to rework your .tga to create variants (At least I think that this is the reason why the map generator does it). However, the circle must be bright yellow instead of white, since each pure white pixel will be a province of its own!
