I don't know about the floor areas but Farm Boy is not a complete supermarket - if you think of what's around the outer perimeter of most supermarkets (produce, bakery, meat/fish, cheese/deli, dairy, prepared foods, a bit of frozen) you've covered the majority of what Farm Boy carries, although it has some packaged goods as well. In local terms, it's a bit closer to Dutchies than it is to a Zehrs (somewhere in between). They have some very good "own label" brands too - I quite like some of their salad dressings, for example.
Here's this week's flyer for London to give an idea:
