Not actually relevant

The deceleration rate on an A330 is exactly the same as a A320, except the A330 can land at twice the mass with a higher approach speed.

Do the simple physics, which needs more distance ? (1/2*m*v^2)
It doesn't actually work this way. Yes, there is more energy to be absorbed which is why they also have bigger brakes, bigger wheels and more of them. At "typical" landing weights a 737 has a longer LDR than a 767 or even a 380.
