Throughput in congestion is determined mostly by how quickly drivers react to the opportunity to move and how many points of attrition are in a path. Both of what are impacted by the number of cars and how well they break or accelerate, not by their size.
There's space to claim large car cause attrition, but that's completely dependent of the local properties of the streets.
