I'm not sure what you mean? The NER tags are a standard set of B-PER, I-PER, etc for all languages, so it is small and universal.
Note that if one did want to do NER with the universal POS tagset (since POS tagging is done before NER), you'd need to map the POS tags, train the universal POS tagger, and then learn the NER.
