Yes, that's possible. It's the point, in fact. (Although it'll help to be careful with terminology. A Large creature (as opposed to large creature) takes 1d6-1/10 ft. It's not until you get to Colossal that you're looking at 1d6+2/10 ft.)the variation in falling damage according to size, coupled with the possibility to end up with 0 dmg when using negative modifiers on your dice creates the situation where large creatures will always take damage (1d6+2, a minimum of 3 con per 10') while smaller creatures might not get damaged at all (1d6-2', a minimum of 0 con per 10')
A squirrel falling from 30 or 40 feet will very often end up uninjured. (Squirrels fall from trees pretty constantly.) A horse is in a lot more trouble.
The simplest thing to do if you don't like the size modifiers is to simply say the 1d6-2/10 ft. applies to all sizes. The system is still 10 times better than the RAW. (He said, modestly.)
