Basically, you can constrain a widget size, yes. Check the GtkWidget methods. I am not sure, but it might be a call with "usize" in the name. I know in Glade I can simply set it in the XML. What I'd do if I were you would be to use a scrolled window that's the absolute, fixed size. That way if the plugin's widgets were too big, at least it would scroll around a bit.
