Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing technical specs. The pic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R-D1x and E-PL1.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R-D1x featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-PL1 will provide more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged R-D1x will be behind in sensor tech.
