Well you could use a parameter
<xsl:param name="x" select="'small'"/>
and use $x instead of 'small' everywhere.

But to do what you ask, collect up the required nodes and then apply
templates to those, you can't do that in one pass in XSLT 1.0.

Most XSLT engines will give you a node-set extension that allows it
or XSLT 1.1 (when it comes) will allow it (according to the XSLT 1.1
requirements document)
