Dired does not have any settings that control
frame size.

The characteristics of the frame you get when
you use `C-x 5 2' are those defined by option
`default-frame-alist'.

However, if you want to _clone_ the selected
frame, that is, copy it as a new frame with the
same characteristics as the current frame, then
you can use command `clone-frame' from library
`frame-cmds.el'.  I bind that to `C-x 5 2'
instead of the default binding, which is to
command `make-frame-command'.
