Realistically would you have map constraints on a real battlefield?

I guess in many real life WWII situations you would have a battalion to your left and right, which would be your operational constraint.

So smaller 'boxes' could represent a more densely defended front, with larger boxes simulating the more spacious battlefields.

For example, when fighting in say North Africa 1941 you may want to fight on a huge map to make it more realistic (unless you were replicating a battle over a specific airfield or feature); and in Normandy 44 a smaller map to force size ratio may keep your battalion in realistic proximity.

But this is one of the great things about SP, and why I never get bored with it. There's an unlimited number of things we can adjust and change. Map and force size can certainly have a large impact on the style of battle that develops.
