Here is the relevant paragraph:
In accordance with 45.22(b)(1) & (2) I display 2" numbers on my vertical tail
surfaces.
Roy 415-c NC70UF
§ 45.22 Exhibition, antique, and other aircraft: Special rules.
(a) When display of aircraft nationality and registration marks in accordance
with §§45.21 and 45.23 through 45.33 would be inconsistent with exhibition of
that aircraft, a U.S.-registered aircraft may be operated without displaying
those marks anywhere on the aircraft if:
(1) It is operated for the purpose of exhibition, including a motion picture or
television production, or an airshow;
(2) Except for practice and test fights necessary for exhibition purposes, it
is operated only at the location of the exhibition, between the exhibition
locations, and between those locations and the base of operations of the
aircraft; and
(3) For each flight in the United States:
(i) It is operated with the prior approval of the Flight Standards District
Office, in the case of a flight within the lateral boundaries of the surface
areas of Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace designated for the
takeoff airport, or within 4.4 nautical miles of that airport if it is within
Class G airspace; or
(ii) It is operated under a flight plan filed under either §91.153 or §91.169
of this chapter describing the marks it displays, in the case of any other
flight.
(b) A small U.S.-registered aircraft built at least 30 years ago or a
U.S.-registered aircraft for which an experimental certificate has been issued
under §21.191(d) or 21.191(g) for operation as an exhibition aircraft or as an
amateur-built aircraft and which has the same external configuration as an
aircraft built at least 30 years ago may be operated without displaying marks
in accordance with §§45.21 and 45.23 through 45.33 if:
(1) It displays in accordance with §45.21(c) marks at least 2 inches high on
each side of the fuselage or vertical tail surface consisting of the Roman
capital letter "N" followed by:
(i) The U.S. registration number of the aircraft; or
(ii) The symbol appropriate to the airworthiness certificate of the aircraft
("C", standard; "R", restricted; "L", limited; or "X", experimental) followed
by the U.S. registration number of the aircraft; and
(2) It displays no other mark that begins with the letter "N" anywhere on the
aircraft, unless it is the same mark that is displayed under paragraph (b)(1)
of this section.

EUREKA!
I searched the FARs for "tail numbers", "numbers", "letters", "symbols",
"numerals", "designators", and "digits". Could not find a thing.
But, as I see here, the keyword was "MARKS".
AND the special piece of important info derived was that LSA birds are allowed
to continue to use 3 inch letters. (Nice bit of authenticity preservation
permitted.)
Many thanks for those who offered the helpful direction!

Does anybody know...or have the reference for...the required dimensions
for aircraft tail numbers? Old and new sizes, both.
