Why not just work the other way around with proxy artists. IOW, make the
artists but never add them to the plot.

Thanks.  That's probably the way I'll go.  At first, I thought creating
separate legend markers and removing them from the plot seemed hacky, but I
guess there's no way that matplotlib could know which legend size I want.
 I wonder if there'd be any interest in a PR to add a keyword to legend to
handle this situation?

Adam,

I haven't investigated, but does the discussion of the legend marker at [1] help?
