why would they then go back to curving the bottom edge like that and reducing the flap size?
Is it reduced, though? With the shape of the wing that they chose (higly convex in the middle) the cord length of the DRS flap is more or less proportional to the cord length of the entire wing along the wingspan. To make the flap flat, they'd have to reduce its size, as I doubt there's room to increase the cord legth at the wingtips.
BTW this is
a Rear Wing and as always there will be several iterations for different tracks.
