You may disagree with "easier", as that is subjective, but not with the rest.

For any given volume of egg mixture, given pans of the same area, a long
rectangular shape can be rolled into more layers than a round (or square) shape.
(Obviously, a long oval shape would have a similar ability, but the rolls would
not be of constant width.)
