Add whatever numbers you want to the "338" to make the message area wider, and to the "68" to make it taller - you'll need to experiment a little to get the size you want. I tried it with adding 100 to each, and it gave a pretty good increase without taking over the whole screen. Don't worry that the scroll bar on the right seems to disappear - it comes back as soon as you have enough text messages to need it again.
This one has been bugging me for some time. I've upped that first number to 500, but the size of the message box never changes for me. I really want to set it to that value, because it's really stupid having such a small message box when I have a 24" widescreen. Is there another value in that block that needs to be edited?
Were you trying this before or after the latest patch? Turns out that the patch renumbered this section as well - what was [G3F I233] is now [G3F I241]. When I tested it with the new section number (adding 100 to each of the numbers as noted in my earlier post), the box expanded as shown in the picture below:



Try that and see if it works for you now. Good luck! [BTW - you'll need to move the box up to make room for the larger area, or it will get blocked by the order bar]
