You can limit attachments __number__ with validate_doc_update function. Like
function(newdoc, olddoc, userctx, secobj){
if (newdoc._attachments && Object.keys(newdoc._attachments).length >= 20){
throw({"forbidden": "too many attachments"})
}
}
However, you couldn't check attachment's size inside validate functions.
