I can tell you that the average countertop in a home of that size would be between 65 and 75 square feet,
Al,
I just came back from the house my daughter is building over in Williston, FL. It is just under 2,000 sf in size (conditioned space) and her granite countertop is probably close to 13' x 2', maybe just lightly more, but not much (had I known of this post I could have measured it).
I read the article, it seems to me that, all things considered in the article, that the radon produced by the granite is not something to worry about, much lower than the action thresholds.
Guess it is to each reader to 'read into it what they want'.
