There isn't a way to do this. The reason is that the thumbnail
generator precalculates thumbnails in advance for many pages (for
example, when we're discarding the backing store). This means we have
to know basically when we start Chrome what the max thumbnail size
will be. It uses power-of-two downsampling to be as fast as possible,
so the actual thumbnails aren't guaranteed to be any particular size.
I would just use the default size for now. If it doesn't look OK, we
can add a future enhancement to request the size, so the ones it
generates on-demand (the ones where there is a backing store) can have
a larger size if needed.
