An alternative to setting smaller text size codes to 0 (to hide xs labels) is to put the labels in a different scrap to the drawing. I have done this with some success where I wanted more detailed text in large scale maps. I still draw it all in the editor on one th2 file, but just move the labels into a separate scrap. Then I can decide when I define my maps which ones to include the labels in. This works well where some maps use offsets too, as I can include labels in the white space per map depending on where the white space on the survey appears based on different use of offsets on each map.
