There are 8 current dukedoms https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_dukedoms_in_the_United_Kingdom

And about 3 times that many historical dukedoms. So 2 of 8 is a small number 2 of 28 an even smaller number.

By eyeball the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancashire are less than 5% of the land mass of the United Kingdom and maybe 10% of the population tops, so "only" meaning a small portion would be fair.

Having said that, from context I think you're inferring the wrong meaning of "only" - I would read that as singling out the two impacted areas (regardless of comparative size). In other words "of all the UK specifically (only) these two areas are affected.

I'm not OP so could be wrong of course. Often am.
