Why does the District of Columbia price differ from the national 200 sq ft cost?

Materials are a national commodity, but the labor and prep share of an install swings by region. This page scales that share by District of Columbia's cost index, so the 200 sq ft total reflects local labor rather than a flat national number.

Does a larger area cost less per square foot in District of Columbia?

Yes. Fixed setup and crew mobilization spread over more area on a larger job, so the per-square-foot price falls as the size grows and rises on a small one — in every state.
