I would think moment goes by force times distance, so I guess, you could put the same tail fin further back, does the same job as a bigger fin. (Not counting how this affects the transverse aerodynamic modes.) The fact this had not happened probably meant the designers doesn't need it, and there is already enough torque available at v1 should anything go wrong...
