I agree -- I think that "constituency" must mean something like "country" here. But I'm also curious about how that could result in more candidates.
Then again, parliamentary systems make it more reasonable to have many parties. But you'd expect that in local districts, it would still be a winner-take-all situation, which encourages a two-party system. Hmm....
