I guess the only way you can really handle this is to build a custom
CTree; if you are building the whole system, you could just go in
gtkctree.c, change the #define for the expander size, and recompile;
if you are relying on prebuilt GTK, you could maybe cut-and-paste
gtkctree.c, run a search-and-replace to rename it so it won't collide
with the original one, and make the change in expander size. Ugly, but
works.

Hopefully we'll make this themeable in GTK 2, I'd do it right now in
the devel branch but the feature allowing themes to set size
parameters hasn't gone in yet.
