The actual reticule size is fixed and as you move closer to the sight the reticule "appears" to get smaller. This is how aiming was actual done, the pilot would lean forward to aim, in some cases (Bf-109 pilots) they would rest their face against the sight when aiming, hence the padding on the sight.

I thought the glass reflector appears larger (since you are closer) but the superimposed gunsight remains the same size (allowing you to dial in enemy a/c wingspan).

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is I don't think sizes change other than in relation to the distance from your eyes (closer = bigger, farther = smaller).
