Guessing from then rest of your message you seem to already have discovered the --help option. I don't think there's anything else, especially since sugar-emulator is barely more than a wrapper around Xephyr.

This is what I'm trying to do: I need to do a desktop recording of Sugar in action. When I try to do this with sugar-emulator running with no options the window size is much too large to record effectively.
Strange, the default should be 800x600. What does xdpyinfo say?

I notice however that sugar-emulator has other options, including one for scale, and I wonder if these options could give me still better results.
Currently the only supported values for SUGAR_SCALING (which is what --scale sets) are 72 ("regular PC") and 100 ("XO").

The end result needs to be a 640x480 video where everything looks in
proportion just like a real Sugar screen would look, or as close to
that as possible.  What sugar-emulator options can I use to achieve
that?
Others may have better suggestions, but how about reducing the capture rate (and doing the manual interactions slowly) instead of the screen size and postprocess the video to reduce screen size and speed it up? It's only a bad hack, but might at least work.
