Thing is, the location in the trailer matches none of those 4. Elsweyr is described as having "harsh badlands and dry plains inlands, with fertile jungle and plantations along the coast." Valenwood can be fully explored in Elder Scrolls Online, and it's mostly uninhabited forests inland, with mangrove swamps and sub-tropical rainforests along the coasts. Summerset was recently added in an ESO expansion, and it's a very colorful, nothing like the location in the trailer. Black Marsh is made up of swamps and islands mainly.
I personally was hoping for Valenwood + Summerset + Elsweyr after Skyrim released, which make up most of the Aldmeri Dominion, but it's looking like that's not what we're getting. I'm expecting either High Rock by itself, High Rock + Hammerfell, the full Tamriel map in one game (which would be a huge undertaking and is unlikely), or an entirely new continent based on that trailer.

I think that trailer was hastily put together, just to put a logo someone somewhere, and has no indication on where the game will be set. Also, ESO is set 1000 years before the main timeline, and a lot can change in that time.
Assuming they are staying true to this layout, wouldn't high rock alone be way too small? And yes, high rock+hammerfell is likely too, now that I look at the combined size.

You're assuming they scale to the same ratio that they used in Skyrim, which was obviously drastically scaled down from what it is meant to actually be. They can make High Rock a dozen times larger than what we saw in Skyrim if they so choose... they've changed the scale with each new game. If picking one province meant never picking a smaller one we would have had to end the franchise with Oblivion.
