Not to say a bigger map would guarantee more space and time for buildup, due to random placement, but it would hopefully give newbies like me who don't know bless strategy from greek and who need some living space to get the ball rolling.

I explicitly chose a tight map for your first game so that you all could get experience. If you all had had 20 provinces to yourselves, wars would have taken forever (if they started at all). Whereas here, pretty much every player has fought one war, if not two. This will be invaluable experience, going forward.
This said, I had already planned on making the 2nd newbie game on a larger map. So you could take your combat knowledge and add long-term magic and strategy to it.

I have considered that playing some "blitz" games with experienced players would build up my strategies and knowledge base in a hurry, but I don't even know how to get involved in one of those or how it works.

Its pretty simple to get involved in a blitz game. You just go to the dominions IRC channel and ask if anyone there wants to blitz. Look at this thread for more details
The Dominions IRC Channel
In particular, DominionsFan gives a link to a web client which you can use for free and instructions on how to use it towards the bottom.
