I don't see how this can fail to generate a stereo image. If you keep
shrinking it you will finish up with a Jecklin disk which has similar
directional properties.

The only proviso I can think of is that a smaller size will reduce the
stereo effect at lower frequencies.

Any mic close to a reflecting surface will get a 6dB lift at right
angles. This is a fundamental property of longitudinal waves.

The phase/time difference effect is only really audible on headphones
or from a fixed position with an ideal speaker setup.

BTW, has anyone actually measured the time delay on a SASS from say 60 
degrees? 175mm path length difference gives about 60ms. Our ears can 
distingush about 1ms.
