The context of "enough" media in the topic 47356 was in response to a post authoritatively (apparently) stating that the media "cartridge" is "way too small." That to me is saying the element is not large enough, ie., have enough media 'holding capacity' to fully capture all the dirt particulates over a recommended oci/fci without the filter going into permanent bypass.
If that poster can provide some scientific data proving that statement, I'd welcome it. However, until proven otherwise and having used the similar sized cellulose blend media NG 7356 often to my satisfaction, I trust that Wix has done the testing and knows what they are doing. And 'fwiw', the filter is covered by the manufacturer warranty for it's intended use.
As also noted now, the specific topic filter 47356 uses synthetic media which is a depth media. Comparison to oem cellulose type media not applicable. Here too though, possible/likely less media area than other similar application synthetic OFs.
As reference only, though not my favorite practice, quick lubes and indy shops use downsized/(consolidated) filters as SOP. In the case of topic Honda 7317 size they use the shorty 6607 filter. And as shown here often, they also use it for the larger older Honda, current Hyun/Kia 9688/3593a applications.
