That's not going to do it for you. This should work:
[?&]size=((?!10)|\d|1[1-9]|[02-9]\d|\d{3,})(&|#|$)
The end chunks force this to match a param (i.e. they ensure that it
actually starts and ends with query string delimiters).
The "size=" part is obvious.
The mess in the middle says "any number except 10". It could prob'ly
be refined a bit, but this does the trick :)
