Don't think php-gtk2 allow us to set the number of items displayed in the
combobox. Nor does it expose the handle to the internal popup window. 

If you need such fine control, maybe you have to set up the combobox
manually.

I have written something similar earlier:
http://www.kksou.com/php-gtk2/articles/setup-pulldown-menu-with-2-columns---Part-3---using-self-defined-combobox.php

If you look at line 69, you can set the specific size of the pulldown menu
window.
