I realize any differences will be quite small to be just about negligible, but I'm just curious. :)

If you imagine the cross section of each one of the strands in the wire, they each have their own little square of which the take up 52%. ie, if you draw a square and then a circle within the square (touching the sides of the square), the circle takes up 52% of the square. It doesn't matter how big or small the squares are, its always 52%.
Another example is putting balls in a box. You can put lots of little ping pong balls in it, or one big beach ball in it, and the volume of waste space will still be the same.
