According to 'Ole Bob, the cathode size is not critical to the process. Although, the smaller the cathode, the higher the applied voltage needs to be to maintain the current. But, if you have enough voltage available to run the system, it should be fine. However, I like Marshall's suggestion for polarity switching.
