Does this mean that the D700 AF frame coverage is particularly small, or is it generally the case that APS-C AF frame coverage is larger? I like putting my focus fairly far out in the frame, so that would be one more reason to stick with APS-C for me.

It is generally the case. Every DSLR has about the same size of AF sensor area. It does not matter much whether you have a Canon EOS 350D, a Sony A700, a Nikon D3s, a Canon EOS 7D, a Pentax K7 or a Canon 5D mk II.
If you would put AF points further apart they would be blind, basically.
