If you mean that you want every card in a single stack to be a different 
size, then no can do. Setting the size of a card effectively sets the 
stack size as well, since all the cards in a stack must be the same size.

You'll either have to script each card to change the stack size on the 
fly, or rethink your approach. Note that most people consider a 
constantly-changing window size to be irritating, so it is generally a 
good idea to avoid shifting the dimensions of the window whenever 
possible. If you have some cards that can be logically grouped by size 
(such as layouts for printing, for example) these can often go into 
their own substack.
