just looking at a picture of a Greek statue of Pan teaching Daphnis to play the pipes. Why is Pan depicted with much larger genitals than Daphnis? I thought Greek artists viewed small genitals as the ideal?

They viewed satyrs as more "animalistic," which could account for their larger genitals. If the appeal of smaller genitals was that it made humans seem more civilized, intellectual, and less subject to their baser instincts, it makes sense for a satyr (not even fully human) to have gross, beastly genitals. Pan was a pal of Dionysus but he wasn't human. Source + memory of Greek mythology I learned in school.
