with our single cell libraries (oligo dT-based), size is mostly determined by the RT you are using: Superscript II (Invitrogen) and Primescript (Takara) are the best here, giving libraries with approximately 2 kb average size,
With a good RNA, you can try to amplify known sizes of mRNA and see empirically, in your experimental conditions, that size can go.
With the RT-KIT-(High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit with RNase Inhibitor-Applied Biosystem) I had fragments up to 900 bp with good efficacy for RT-PCR in Arabidopsis thaliana and in human peripheral blood.
