Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

If YADE warns you the size have been scaled down, maybe it's not
surprising that you do not get the sizes you asked for ;-)

Reason is that you assigned altogether
- size of the cloud: mn and max attributes
- the number of the spheres
- their volume

And it was impossible for makeCloud to randomly insert that many spheres
with these sizes in that volume, without the spheres touching each
other.

Solution is to change  your use of the function, eg enlarging the mn,max
attributes defining the cloud "box".
