Short Answer: No.

Long Answer:

Matter is neither small nor large, assuming you are referring to the physicist's concept of matter as "that which has mass and occupies space." This defines matter as pretty much everything in the universe from planets to kitchen utensils, if it has weight (or mass, though the distinction is only important in astrological terms, as when speaking about planets and such) then it is matter. Your confusion could arise from the idiomatic phrase "everything is made of matter" or something similar, but this is technically untrue, a more accurate substitute would be "everything IS matter." A planet or a fork is MADE OF matter in the sense that all its constituent parts, such as atoms, compounds, molecules, or even just smaller pieces of the original object, such as a single tine of a fork, is also considered to be matter, but the complete and whole object that is a planet or fork IS matter in and of itself as a whole. Your misunderstanding most likely lies in this small difference in phrasing and the prevalent misuse of the word among laymen.
