The European part is larger based solely on European territories. If you look at the territory Rome is commonly said to have held the largest single part is European. It should also be noted that the European part of the Roman Empire remained relatively static once territory had been acquired. The Asian part of the Roman Empire was subject to territorial changes over the centuries, which means that the Asian part of the Roman Empire was probably never bigger than the European part at any single given point.
