all right, I took a chance and added smallest and largest as parameters for the tag cloud widget options. It seems to work on my site, but I’m not really a developer (or want to be one?). Here are the functions in widgets.php, I don’t know if someone could check the code again and use it.

function wp_widget_tag_cloud($args) {
	extract($args);
	$options = get_option('widget_tag_cloud');
	$title = empty($options['title']) ? __('Tags') : $options['title'];
	$smallest = empty($options['smallest']) ? __('8') : $options['smallest'];
	$largest = empty($options['largest']) ? __('22') : $options['largest'];
	$number = empty($options['number']) ? __('45') : $options['number'];

	echo $before_widget;
	echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
	wp_tag_cloud('smallest='.$smallest.'&largest='.$largest.'&number='.$number.'');
	echo $after_widget;
}

function wp_widget_tag_cloud_control() {
	$options = $newoptions = get_option('widget_tag_cloud');

	if ( $_POST['tag-cloud-submit'] ) {
		$newoptions['title'] = strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['tag-cloud-title']));
		$newoptions['smallest'] = $_POST['tag-cloud-smallest'];
		$newoptions['largest'] = $_POST['tag-cloud-largest'];
		$newoptions['number'] = $_POST['tag-cloud-number'];

	}

	if ( $options != $newoptions ) {
		$options = $newoptions;
		update_option('widget_tag_cloud', $options);
	}

	$title = attribute_escape( $options['title'] );
	$smallest = attribute_escape( $options['smallest'] );
	$largest = attribute_escape( $options['largest'] );
	$number = attribute_escape( $options['number'] );
?>
	<label for="tag-cloud-title">
	<?php _e('Title:') ?> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="tag-cloud-title" name="tag-cloud-title" value="<?php echo $title ?>" /></label>

	<label for="tag-cloud-smallest">
	<?php _e('Smallest Point Size:') ?> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="tag-cloud-smallest" name="tag-cloud-smallest" value="<?php echo $smallest ?>" /></label>
	<label for="tag-cloud-largest">
	<?php _e('Largest Point Size:') ?> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="tag-cloud-largest" name="tag-cloud-largest" value="<?php echo $largest ?>" /></label>

	<label for="tag-cloud-number">
	<?php _e('Number of Tags to Display:') ?> <input type="text" class="widefat" id="tag-cloud-number" name="tag-cloud-number" value="<?php echo $number ?>" /></label>

	<input type="hidden" name="tag-cloud-submit" id="tag-cloud-submit" value="1" />
<?php
}

I was wondering if line 5 shouldn’t read

$number = empty($options[‘number’]) ? __(’45’) : $options[‘number’];

instead of

$number = empty($options[‘number’]) ? __(‘Tags’) : $options[‘number’];

I’d like to add options for smallest and largest font sizes because the default is too large for my cloud. Let me know if the above makes sense to you.
