The problem is that the formula is so large that it would be good to
reduce the character sizes a bit, just to make it fit into a smaller
space on the page. Few if any readers will want to make a careful
examination of the formula.
What (if such exists) is a straightforward way for me to reduce the
character sizes in one and only one formula?
(I'm perfectly happy with red boxes. ;-) )
You can load the graphicx package and use the \scalebox command. Note
that graphicx might already be loaded if you are incorporating
graphics. If not, you can load it explicitly in the preamble. If you
want the formula in display mode, you may have to use inline math and
center the paragraph manually (as I did in the attached example).
There might be a way to convince it to work with display math
formulas, but I don't know how.

Thanks for that much!
I am going to want to find a way to make this work for display
formulae, as the formula in question needs to be numbered. (That's
actually why I want it to take a bit less space.)
I can just dump the problem in the lap of whoever does the final
marking-up for the journal, but I'd rather have a solution in place.
