one way to deal with this would be to pull all of the dimensioning
out in a parameterized include file and then use those parameters
all throughout the code.  Users should just then need to fiddle with a
couple of parameters in the include file and rebuild if they
need to change the problem size.  Only Don can say how much effort that
would be (I don't know much use of parameters there already is) and if
it's worth it...
