Your notional figures are low for both aircraft. You can get 330 passengers in the 787-10 in a reasonably spacious two class configuration, or cram another hundred more in a single class configuration.
Either way the difference in cabin space is essentially irrelevant to arguments about "smaller planes" in the context of suitability for battery power.
We're still talking about widebodies carrying well over 200 passengers which would be entirely unsuitable for battery powered replacements, and the 787 is larger than many of the other widebodies it's replacing.
