Statistical effect of inceasing private key shares' bit length in threshold RSA signature

pt flag

By using additive sharing of the private key over the integers, one can obtain a simple threshold RSA signature scheme.
It provides security against a passive adversary.
The dealer chooses random $d_{i}$ from $\mathbb{Z}$ such that the RSA private key $d=\sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}\mod \phi(n)$.
In order not to reveal information about RSA private key $d$ or phi Euler of modulus $\phi(n)$, the $d_{i}$'s are chosen with bit length significantly larger than $d$, e.g., $|d_{i}|\approx|d|+160\ bit$.
This method hides $d$ statistically. How?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
