This is obviously not true. Many (if not most) projects in the Node.js community for example, are made up of hundreds of thousands of lines of dynamically-typed code (mostly npm modules written by other people) and these projects are usually very easy to manage (many Node.js developers wont even realize that they have so much code running behind the scenes because third-party Node.js modules are taken for granted). The secret is breaking everything up into well-defined modules. I suppose the same can be said about Python and other dynamically typed languages.

Sure, and windows adds ~40 million lines of code to most .Net projects. For comparison just the Linux kernel is ~12M lines of code. It's not that dynamic languages force bad designs, it's that they promote bad designs. Breaking a project into lots of tiny chunks is one way to manage complexity, but it also adds a lot of overhead as components can't assume much about the other side of there API. A good tradeoff for an OS, not that great for a FPS. That said, there are times where dynamic languages allow you to get by with far less code.
