If I change the size of dwarfs to the size of humans will they still need the [SMALL] armor, how do I change that?

Well, if you ever noticed, [SMALL] isn't a tag. Body size is the only thing that determines armor size.

There has never been a [SMALL] or [LARGE] tag - the size description on armor/clothing has always been determined based on the body size of whatever race constructed it. Back in 40d and earlier there were [STOUT] and [NARROW] which just further restricted armor usage between creatures of the same size, but that was removed in version 0.31.01.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
