There is currently no way to do that.  Somebody mentioned the idea in (I
think) one of the (many) bugs I went through last weekend, of having a
"scale factor" for subparts of a shape.  It's not in code yet, so at the
moment you'd either have to implement that or do a C-file with your
object.  Sorry, I can't find it right now.
