Size appears to be related to the number of lit segments of a seven-segment display. The largest digit would be 8, implying all 7 segments are lit; the smallest, 1, implying 2 segments are lit.

Burma/Myanmar, the 8888 Uprising

Largest: 08/08/2088 -- segment count: 6+7+6+7+5+6+7+7 = 51

Smallest: 11/11/2011 -- segment count: 2+2+2+2+5+6+2+2 = 23
