Yes, it'd be a pretty good sized area. 5 1/2 per cm (or roughly one every 1/16") is what I'd suspect to see on a facial wound (or even closer). With that you'd be looking at roughly 4" (or just over 10cm) if you're only doing one layer.
I do agree with your thought that 75 seems like a fairly high number, but I guess in reality, we didn't get a great look at it. I'll add that until you're sewing, you don't really know the edges and such that might take "another one here or there".
