If you observe the erosion patterns of rectangular flat electrodes,

Round wire only has one edge at the tip and it sharpens to a gradual
needle point...then the point erodes up the length of the wire.
Increase the distance between the points and it forces the rest of the
wire to be the path of least resistance..or..get the tip out of the
water so it can't discharge anything.
Like with magnetic forces, distance squared rules apply.
A wire that's twice the diameter will have about 4 times the leading
surface discharge.
What do you mean by leading surface? Circumference is linearly dependent
on the diameter, namely pi*D. Are you talking about the end, which
increases by the square?
