It won't work. The option is defined as an integer, not as an expanded
string.
However, you should be able to apply a size check at the routing stage.
You can limit a router to a specific size by an option such as
condition = ${if < {$message_size}{something}{yes}{no}}
where "something" could be a lookup that depends on the host, address,
or whatever.

If you limit it on the router as I suggest, then too big messages will
fall through to the next router. You could then do something else with
the big messages, or use an autoreply transport to send a message to
somebody.
