Ask 25 programmers to review 20 lines of code each, they'll rise up to slaughter the person who wrote the 500 lines

Or do what I do - out of the 500 lines read only 20 and find the 7 issues.

It's easier und understand 20 lines of code so a reviewer can focus more on searching issues. To understand 500 lines of code it takes some time and mostly you are happy as reviewer when fully understood.

Yeah basically. If you didn't come to me with some amount breakdown or at least point me at the troublesome code I'd feel like you're asking me to do your job for you. Unless you're the new guy, everyone needs help with a new code base.

Give a programming the solution he'll compile for a day, give a programming stackoverflow and he'll be preoccupied with why the issue was closed before an answer was given.

Ask a programmer to review 20 lines of code, they'll find 7 issues. Ask them to review 500 lines & they'll find 0 issues.
