Disk brake design

Looking at both the front and rear disks of my 85T, it appears that the brake pads only make contact with about 60% of the available surface area on the disk. Seems like the brakes would be more efficient of that extra area was utilized. It would keep the disks from getting so dirty and rusty in the unused area too.
Why doesn't the car have bigger pads, or why doesn't the car have smaller rotors?
