The only rules for size modification I can find in Bio-tech are specifically for Humans. I think it's a bit of a mistake to assume that the limits that apply to humans would be identical for every animal. For example, it would be silly to assume you could make ¼ kilometer Blue Whales, or 0.3 mm Pharaoh ants. On the other hand, it could be plausible that you could scale up to far larger or smaller than the limits presented, depending on the animal. Whether they bear more than superficial resemblance to the base animal is an exercise for the setting designer.
