Difference in size between the biggest landmasses:

Africa-Eurasia and Americas 2:1

Americas and Antarctica 3:1

Antarctica and Australia 1.9:1

Australia and Greenland 3.6:1

Greenland and New Guinea 2.7:1

The biggest difference in size between two landmasses i ranked order is between Australia and Greenland. Because of that, the difference between continental landmasses and islands is the same place.

According to Jetpunk precedent (such as in the largest islands quiz), Australia is considered the continental landmass of Oceania. If you were to go by largest contiguous landmass, then Eurasia would be the largest.
