If you give the same mass of CO2 twice the volume to fill, you will get half 
the pressure to overcome the "head" of the water in the tank.  Eventually, it 
will build up, but the reactor will possibly over time deliver less CO2 to 
the tank.  It may be sufficient and just be a little slower about getting 
going.

Just a thought.  No personal evidence, anecdotal or otherwise.
