Are those AND conditions or OR conditions on autoplays? If and, will we see these videos shrink to 199x139 to avoid tripping the detectors? Oh happy day, the pause button will be even smaller and harder to click!

AND. Hence my use of the word, "and." :-)

I think you misunderstand the metric. Videos smaller than 199x139 will not qualify as "user intended to watch this video" and therefore Chrome will disable autoplay on those sites.
