area under a graph of electric field strength against distance, between two points, is the potential difference between those two points. ... If we double the distance between us and a point, the potential difference between us and that point will also double in a uniform electric field.

The potential at distance z is given by the following equation,
V(z)=σ2ε0[R2+z2−−−−−−√−|z|]
In the limiting case |z|≫R,
R2+z2−−−−−−√=|z|(1+R2z2)1/2
then the potential simplifies to
V≃σ2ε0R22|z|=14πε0σ(πR2)|z|=14πε0Q|z|
which is nothing but the potential for point charge.
Then the variation will be
You can see that the variation over large distances converges to that of a point charge.
