Generally, it is very hard to see the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX2F and A7R IV.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX2F having a smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Sony A7R IV will provide you with greater detail with its extra 49 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older EX2F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
