Yes, capacitance increases with wire diameter. The length^2 variation of the series resistance comes from considering radiation. The 1/length^4 variation of the parallel resistance comes from a combination of the series variation, the capacitance (varies something like length, for a short antenna) and then the series-parallel transformation.
