Normally, its difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R10 and E-PL7.
As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R10 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R10 will provide extra detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer R10 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
