Another thing that the RQ rules are silent on regarding temple sizes is the significance of special holy sites. It would seem natural to me that certain holy sites should be able to furnish powerful magic even if only a few dedicated initiates were present. An obvious rule mechanic would be to increase the effectiveness of a site by one step if it is of special mythic significance.

e.g. Pairing Stone (where the first Wind Lord of Orlanth died) might provide magic as a medium temple even if only a small temple contigent of initiates were present.

This begs the question of what happens at sites like The Block (for Storm Bull) and the Paps (for Ernalda/Eiritha). Presumably there are enough worshippers in the Paps for a great temple. Perhaps those places exist partially on the Hero/Plane. Certainly they are mythically beyond mere temples.
