The code for menu() determines the position and size automatically, taking in to account the size required in order to fit the text and the buttons.
The only thing you can change is
get(0,'DefaultUicontrolFontsize')
ans =
10
to provide a larger font size (which would result in the text being larger, thus affecting the window size.)
If you need finer control, then menu() is not the appropriate tool for the task. menu() is designed for simplicity of user interface.

Is it also impossible to put special characters into the menu choices? For instance I typed '1\omega' as one of the choices, and it just displayed 1\omega instead of what I wanted -- 1 followed by the Greek character. Or am I doing something wrong? This syntax works when inputting a label on a figure, for instance.
