Example: 20 targets
1000 / 20 = 50 damage, so each target takes 50 damage
The total damage is 1000, equal to the single-target damage with 1-10 targets

Pretty sure you read their example wrong.

Figure out how hard your AoE will hit a single target.
It will hit up to 10 targets, for this maximum value.

So for the 1000 damage spell, you will hit 1-10 targets for 1000 each.
If you face 20 targets, then the (maximum) 10,000 damage this spell can deal, will be divided evenly.
Or 500 damage per target.
