  •  Settings  > Accessibility > Subtitles & Captioning > Style > Create New Style > Size

Here you'll fine an option for Video Override keeping this On will use the subtitle styles supplied with the video. If you are seeing different styling for a particular programme then you can try setting this to Off.
