I had the same kind of consideration while developping the recipe.
That's why I made it handle a kind of style definition at markup
start:

{$ %height=3.5em% ... $}

Anyway, you could always override the default css definitions in the
configuration file:

$HTMLStylesFmt['formula'] = "
div.eqn { margin: 0 2em; }
div.eqn table { width: 100%; }
div.eqn iframe {
 width: 100%;
 height: 80px;
}";
