No. Field sizes are randomly generated based on the slot location within the system. It would be a major challenge to revise the database to allow such a feature.

If you do not like the planets size, you can always abandon it and try again.

If you are just starting out you shouldnt worry too much about your planets size. Just farm resources for a while from your other planets and when you think you need to move on, thats when you think about planets size.

I dont know whats so funny.....a strategy game's most distinctive charcteristic is knowing all and using it in a strtegic play&moves.
this game makes you gamble and all players have diffrent assets thus some have natural disadvantages while others have it the other way around.

I dunno.
Expeditions are risky (including colonizing), you don't know what you can get or loose. That's part of the game. I think that's one of the things you should keep in mind when laying out your strategies.
