Oxygen is small in size and the lone pair of oxygen repel the bond pairs of O-O bond to larger extent than the lone pairs of sulphur in S-S bond. Sulphur naturally exists in nature as S 8 molecules hence on heating this rings break and link jointly in to long chains making it have a greater tendency for catenation than oxygen.
