per table region size
It is possible to control the region size (hstore size) on a per table
basis? I have certain applications where the overall keyspace is small
but I'd like the data to spread nicely over many region servers that use
a certain table and another one that has potentially 2 orders of
magnitude of data and I'd like to keep the region count small in this
case.
Prespliitnig is probably not an option since both tables exist already.

Yes, you can, by specifying MAX_FILESIZE on the table creation or using
alter command for an existing table. You need to disable the table before
changing and may run compaction if needed.
