The hitbox is not flat surface, and where you land can greatly impact the amount of damage you deal. This is because the hitbox for the jump attack is bigger than the hitbox that needs to connect to do the "mounting" attack. Notably, this can generally only occur with jumping attacks performed using a big enough weapon, as the standard plunging attack's hitbox is simply too small to have this effect.

This is also seen by a few other enemies, such as the Taurus Demon and Fang Boar, and many large enemies can also be hit multiple times by a jump or plunging attack, especially if they cannot be hit by a "mounting" attack. The second gargoyle in Anor Londo is a great example of this, if you can make it fall down the stairs, as is the giant rat in the Depths, supposing you don't mount it during the plunge.
