How can I divide an abstract shape into equal areas?

I've tried Divide Surface but it's not what I'm looking for.

Flat plane. A shape. Divided into 16 equal areas. How?

You could place a room in the space, export a room report, and that might give you a starting point..?   

At least by having a room  you will have the total area, that can then be divided by 16, so you know what sized rooms you need to work with.  I'm not aware of a command that will divide the space into equal sized spaces I'm sorry.

You need to use a generative design tool... https://www.autodesk.com/solutions/generative-design/architecture-engineering-construction

You could consider trying an Area plan, and place area boundaries to create 16 areas - tag them to see the area of each.

Move the lines by nudging (zoom in for finer tolerance) until the areas are sufficiently equal.

Revit will not be able to divide the area automatically.  There are an infinite amount of configurations to divide that space into 16 equal spaces.

What about a parametric method?

Any dynamo  users have any tips?

For AutoCAD (and 2D) there is the SplitArea utility. But I am not aware of anything similar for Revit.
