Depends on how you want to define "largest" and "smallest", but if
"area" is a good enough definition, seems like this would work:

select file_md5 from image_instance
where md5 = '546b94e94851a56ee721f3b755f58462'
    and image_width between 0 and 160
    and image_length between 0 and 160
order by image_width * image_length
limit 1;

Probably an index on md5 would be sufficient to make this go fast ---
I assume you're not going to be storing a vast number of sizes of
the same image.
