He could also mean. (none / 0)

That the populations of the states represented by the Democratic Senators is more than that of the republican Senators.  Which I think is also correct even if you split the populations of the states with one of each party.

perhaps (none / 0)

I thought of that. However, it's a more indirect calculation, and in my view a shakier argument because, as you point out, of the split-senator problem (for example, how to score Oregon).

Some states, like California (none / 0)

have two Senators from the same party.

in California's case, they are both Democrats..

So splitting it 50/50 isn't accurate..
