Unfortunately, this is not stored as a resource anywhere.  You would
have to patch out the place in the Finder code where the constant is used.
Hopefully you can just set the size on your favorite apps using the Get Info
box.

This is the size a typical application would get by itself on a Mac 512KE 
(not including system heap, RAM cache, etc.).  When MF came out Apple and 
third parties were still supporting this as a platform, so all apps ran on 
it.
