And still 1 screen will be considered 1 page.
The last ereader to use this number system was LRF or LRX formats on Sony ereaders.

The only thing that will change by increasing or decreasing font size will be the number of screens required before it changes to 2/200.
As davidfor explained normal epubs are numbered as you describe above (fixed number of pages) on every ePub ereader. Kepubs (Kobo ePubs) are apparently numbered via screen pages on Kobo devices.

Regardless, this plugin will never accommodate the number of pages based on font size and screens required to complete the book.
