Using Export/Edit In/Open as Layers in Photoshop, is it possible to set a specific image size for the chosen files?
This would be nifty, as I only need fairly small images to make a collage out of man files both small and very large ones.

Not to my knowledge. You can change the resolution in the External Editor Preferences, but that will just make a bigger sized (in centimeters / inches) file with less dpi. It will not make your file smaller. Lightroom will always send whatever pixels it has (i.e. the original data less any pixels that you cropped out with the crop tool) to Photoshop. You could of course resize your layered PSD document in Photoshop, but if it contains a lot of layers it will take some time...
