Sadly, atm there aren't such settings. I agree there should be. Will see
if I can add them any time soon. For now, the best I could offer you is
to make the root file system writable and edit the file

/usr/share/unity8/Shell.qml

On line 109 you will find

property real edgeSize: units.gu(2)

Increase that number in there. But please be *very* careful when editing
this file. If you make a mistake it might cause your device to not boot
any more (so you'd have to reflash). If you think this is too risky,
wait for us to turn this into a setting.

Br,
Michael
