OG 11-126关于可数名词比较级的问题（more numerous）,不明白，求指点

OG 11-126中的注释说"Density is not a countable quantity, so it cannot be modified by more numerous, which is used solely for countable quantities; greater is correct"

原句是：126. A wildlife expert predicts that the reintroduction of the caribou into northern Minnesota will fail if thedensity of the timber wolf population in that regionis greater than one wolf for every 39 square miles.

请问：就算是可数名词，表示数目多的时候有more numerous这种说法吗？不是应该说the number of ... is larger than ... 吗？
