The panels have adjustable size - right-click, choose "preferences" or
similar, and you can set the height in pixels. The stuff in the panel
will resize accordingly.

One thing I like to do is to move all panel stuff to one panel and
remove the other. Moving is easy - first right-click on whatever you
want to move (menu, launcher or whatever), and choose "unlock" if it is
locked in place. Then either drag it with the middle mouse button, or
choose "move" in the menu. Once you're done, remove the now empty
panel. 

Final thing: a few applets - the clock in particular - will end up being
killed as well if the original panel is killed, so you will have to add
it again manually from the panel menu.
