The size of the machine is not the most relevant thing, though a
bigger machine will might need bigger power cables to keep the losses
down.

You would typically size the power cables for the motor current. Data
cables might simply be chosen for being conveniently available with
the required number of cores.

Sensors and switches generally get wired back to the control box,
though there might be something to be said for keeping the motor
drives near the motors. (There are even some very neat stepper drives
that bolt onto the back of the motors)
