like any other widget, use "width" and "height"

In your resource file, set the size of a button named "buttonname" like
this:
?*buttonname.width: 50
?*buttonname.height: 50

To set the size of ALL arrow buttons:
?*XmArrowButton.width: 50

In general, it is NOT a good idea to reset any resource for ALL widgets.
Slightly better, but still ususally not a good idea is to set it for your
program only:
MyProgram*XmArrowButton.width: 50
