I’m not able to test in Ventura anymore, but it appears to work OK in Sonoma
(latest public beta), in case that's something to look forward to. I tried
Sonoma on one machine for a couple of days, and it seemed OK, so now it’s the
only recent system I have. Anyway, I probably wouldn’t perform another “tell"
inside “Preview”’s tell block. Did you try something like this (I played with
the bounds):

tell application "Preview"
        activate
        set _theWindows to every window
        repeat with i from 1 to number of items in _theWindows
                set this_item to item i of _theWindows
                set the bounds of this_item to {0, 0, 1111, 1600}
        end repeat
end tell
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
        keystroke "g" using {option down, command down}
        keystroke 14
        delay 1.5
        keystroke return
end tell
tell application "Preview"
        activate
        set the bounds of window 1 to {200, 0, 720, 940}
end tell
