This is unpredictable. There are even more cases than you would believe, where splitting a PDF into its n single pages delivers n one-page PDFs which have each the same size as the original!

The PDF sub-document is created (and must be so created) by including all xrefs that are referenced by some page of the chosen subset. So if evry page refers to some central object, which in turn refers to other pages, then those other pages (and their referrals) will become part of the current one-page subset, too.
Crazy - but it happens!
