Tok Size bigger then Prc Size

There's no correlation between the size of the prc source code and
the tok conpiled code.  It's what the code contains and what it
compiles to that matters.

Try the 1-line prc:

    dim array(500)(10,*):aa

This 28-byte prc file compiles to a 4K tok file, as you have defined
500 dummy fields which are included in the tok file, even though there
are only 2 bytes of actual compiled code.
