If the titans armor is roughly 5 times larger, shouldn't the protection it offers be better. Has anyone incorporated a new armor system based on different sizes? Weapons accomodate this fact, why not armor?

The strength makes it easier because you're more likely to get a solid blow on a soft spot because armor deflects more than it just flat stops. Because of that, the Titan has the same amount of his body protected as the human, so he gets the same bonus.
