Is there some way I can scale the size of fixed pitch fonts (courier)?
In my preamble I have \usepackage[scaled=0.92]{helvet} which tweaks the
size of the sans serif fonts down to something which better matches the
serif font (times), but can't find an option to do the same to the fixed
pitch fonts.
Depends on the font package. You can do it for beramono, for instance. For
courier, there's a courier-scaled package (a different font set to
the "standard" courier fonts):

Thanks, that certainly does what I wanted! Putting
\usepackage[scaled=0.8]{couriers} sets the size of typewriter sections
nicely to 80 characters between the margins and visually is a good match
for the (12pt) times roman elsewhere in the document.
There is one odd side effect though - the \baseskip spacing appears to
still be what it would have been at the normal font size, so verbatim
blocks look more spread out than they did previously by using
\footnotesize. Is there anything I can do about this? Can I fiddle with
the verbatim environment?
