Seems the 65816 can actually deliver higher code density than the 65C02, even though many instructions are one byte longer.
Being able to do 16 bit operations with a single instruction is certainly a factor. But I suspect that the larger address space had an even bigger impact (less costly banking and paging in/out code).
