So I have 2 questions:
1. Is it reasonable for me to choose small app size over optimized
resource loading?

Depends on the app, the complexity of the UI, the impact of the UI loading on memory usage, performance issues, etc...

I.e. it is typically context sensitive.

2. Why do more Nibs mean larger app size, when they have the same
number of windows/panels between them?

By "larger app size", do you mean more space on disk or more memory usage?

Having a look through a random set of NIB files in a few apps that I'm building or have built, they are only 12k to 32k each. Hardly enough to worry about given that the executable size, the images, documentation and other resources is typically an order of magnitude larger.
