It the pan is too small for the volume of cake mix, it will overflow and make a mess in the oven during baking. If too large, the cake mixture would spread out and you would get a wider, but thinner cake.The proper size would (hopefully) produce a cake of the right size and thickness - and would be a credit to the cook!Also, knowing your oven and its quirks is a great help too.

Why did your cake come out crumbly?
Angel food cake is very delicate. You cannot touch the cake, even one time, when you have your cake in the oven. If you do, it will fall every time. You cannot move it, touch it, prick it, or any form of movement near the oven when you are baking the cake. I have seen it every time. They are delicate and cannot be moved or touched during baking time.
