Thanks for the hints. I started digging in to the epsonds backend and it
was pretty easy to graft on an adjustment to the ADF scan area when the
DPI value is changed by the frontend. I've submitted a merge request
with my code changes:

https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/-/merge_requests/753

It would still be nice to know if the relationship between AREA / AMAX
and DPI can be queried out of some / all epson scanner models. My fix
baked in the assumption that the AMAX size only works on the smallest
DPI setting.
