I've asked the same question in #kde and #plasma on freenode and
apparently the answer to both is no at least for now.  From what I
understand, the size is hardcoded for the time being and the whole
configuration dialog system for the panel isn't due till 4.1 since
plasma as a whole is a relatively new piece of code.  At least that's
the impression I got.  (I wondered how KDE as a whole could be out of
beta without a configurable panel, but it's obviously not up to me.)

Also, in case anyone cares (I did), I've been told that there is no
more multi-display panel.  Instead you should have two separate panels
- one on each display.  I've had multiple (2-3) displays for many
years and this seems like a bit of a regression to me.  I've been told
by A Siego to not ever expect that as its apparently a broken concept
(who knew).
