I've looked through all the nickel CSS code I have access to and nothing I can see looks likely to be a candidate for the code which handles the size of the pop-up footnote box.

The only code I *can* see which might affect the cosmetic appearance of the footnote widget is:
  • the font-size of the header, i.e. the fixed text 'Footnote preview'
  • the padding gap between the footnote text and the edges of the pop-up box
Changing either/both of those may allow slightly more footnote text to be visible, but are almost certain to have a collateral effect in other (currently unknown) parts of the GUI. Only my opinion, but that doesn't sound particularly interesting, as patches go.

Not much else I can do, I'm afraid. @geek1011 may be able to do a deeper code dive, but I don't think he has much free time these days.
