Someone put a to-scale comparison shot up. In the middle it's GTA IVs map, under that is San Andreas map and then it's the RDR map, with one area left to reveal. It's going to take a while on horseback or foot.
Another little bit of info I think may have been mentioned before:

Obviously towns repopulate eventually but this looks like the reason they had the game randomly generate NPCs instead of using preset models.
I guess you could theoretically play the game for years and see no clones. When you kill a randomly generated NPC (or when it uses a combination at all), the game must cross that combination off some kind of NPC generation list.
