The viewing size of a signer correlates with legibility, i.e., the ease with which a viewer can recognize individual signs. The WCAG 2.0 guidelines (G54) mention in the notes that there should be a mechanism to adjust the size to ensure the signer is discernible but does not state minimum discernibility guidelines. The fluent range (the range over which sign viewers can follow the signers at maximum speed) extends from about 7 to 20, which is far greater than 2 for print. Assuming a standard viewing distance of 16 inches from a 5-inch smartphone display, the corresponding sizes are from 2 to 5 inches, i.e., from 1/3rd to full-screen. This is consistent with vision science findings about human visual processing properties, and how they play a dominant role in constraining the distribution of signer sizes.
