Exactly. Rally Adriatico (CIR-Italy) had 124km SS, 315km RS, and not more than 35km SS between services (of 30mins each). On average Italian (CIR) events are around 150km SS. That and the extra service breaks give much more opportunities to solve any small problems and of course there's less time/chance for problems to develop.
