Size isn't a factor, but tampons may increase bleeding.

Many women notice when switching from tampons to options such as menstrual cups or pads that their flow reduces, thus there is an assumption that tampons increase flow - one reason put forward for this is the chemicals within many brands of tampons, however absorbency may also be a major factor.

Tampons don't just absorb blood they also absorb vaginal moisture, this causes ulceration in vaginal tissues which could bleed and thus adding to flow - in the 1970's when super-absorbent materials were being used in tampons many women were admitted to hosppital with vaginal hemoraging, thus this theory isn't too far-fetched.
