Hmm, I go away for a couple of days and come back to find I've put my foot in it. The irony is, I didn't even mean to address the stroke-versus-bore thing at all. What I really wanted to address was tradeoffs in using different numbers of cylinders to achieve the same displacement--a very different matter, so I'm not sure why I even couched it in those terms.
Only excuse I can come up with is being groggy after my siesta that day. Must've inadvertently taken a "torque nap" instad of a "power nap."
Thanks for clearing up the misconception from both ends of the spectrum there, Jim! Good posts.
