I could be wrong, but...
I have a comment in my .fvwm2rc that says:
# Geometry - really likes to pick its own size, but giving a position is OK
*FvwmButtonsGeometry -5-34
I believe my button size is determined by the size of the xpm images I
stuck in there. The only button I have that's larger is xload and it's
double-sized. Check this out:
*FvwmButtons(2x1, Title load, \
Swallow(UseOld) "xload" 'Exec xload \
-nolabel -bg grey60 -update 5 -geometry -1500-1500 &')
Maybe something like that will work for you, too.
I hope this helps...
