There have been a number of questions about volume, and you could probably search to find more details.
You are limited to being one of the two sizes listed in the rules. If you want to change from one size to the other, you need to get reinspected.
That said, if you do not take up the whole of your selected volume, you can expand the ROBOT to fill up the volume. So if you made the ROBOT smaller than the max size, you could extend over and beyond the BUMPERS. Remember that at the start of the match, you are required to have all elements of the ROBOT except BUMPERS inside the FRAME PERIMETER. So you can't extend above or beyond the BUMPER until after the match starts.
