I looked up Balwer's size. He is described in POD as 'a little stick of a man'. Because my timing was off, I cannot provide the exact chapter and page number. It is when Perrin returns to his own camp with Morgase and her party.
Using the Power to change your appearant size may be possible, but it would be very awkward and error prone. In all your movements (walking, running, jumping) you have to remember that your legs are longer than they seem. In everything you do you have to remember that your arms should seem to be shorter than they are (you have to stand just a bit closer when handing over a note on a piece of paper). If you forget about this even once, people will start to wonder. It is possible that Moghedien, the master spy, could have done this, though I doubt that, but there is nothing to suggest that Demandred could have pulled it off. On top of that, there is no reason for it, since Nial's secretary could also have been a tall stick of a man, without blowing his cover in the least. So, based on physical evidence, I would say that this theory is blown to pieces.
