  My mistake and a good catch on your part. I am used to specifying
area lights with the full vector syntax like:

area_light <4, 0, 0>, <0, 4, 0>, 4, 4

This gives me a 4x4 unit area with 16 lights evenly spaced in that area.
 
  The way you had it specified I believe the docs describe it as a linear
area light as there is only a single vector declare when no value is
assigned for the second (I think).

Try the following change to see if it helps

x*10, y*1, 10, 1
