Nope. The size is not known to Squid when the traffic is encrypted. All
Squid sees is that there is some kind of bidirectional traffic between the
browser and the requested server.
At best an acl could be added to forcibly terminate connections after N
amount of bytes have been sent in either direction, but there is no
guarantee this won't incorrectly terminate connections when there is
multiple request sent over the same persistent SSL connection, and imho
would generally do more bad than good.
