at what number of horses is a barn considered small?
at what number of horses is a barn considered large?

NYRA has run their "under-20" claiming challenge for stables with 20 stalls or fewer, so that number you were thinking of may be a decent dividing line for a start when talking about small.
It seems like a lot of on-track barns are constructed with 40-50 stalls. A medium stable might fill an entire one of those barns.
The large stables will tend to have multiple barns at a single track. (Not to mention more horses at nearby training centers, and/or multiple divisions at various tracks.)
Others may have different viewpoints on the # of horses that divides each category.
