I wrote an script to do something with UVs a while ago. I modified it a little to make it work with UV scale.
It doesn't do anything fancy. It just scales the current selected UV island "locally" just like "Transform UVs", but it can be registered as a command (like dropping it in a shelf) and therefore, you'll be able to use repeat or assign it a hotkey, so you'll have only to select your UV island, execute the command, select the next UV island and repeat. I'm not sure how useful it may be in your case, but if you want to use it: https://www.4shared.com/document/QtjsN38Yce/mScaleUVIsland.html You'll have to edit the first variables in the script to specify the scale value. You need to have Sync Method in Components to make it work (since UV selection can't be reached through scripting I had to use polygon selection and convert it to samples). Basically it gets your selected polygons, convert them to samples, calculate the average center of the UV island and scale.
