  The "Details" of ?windrose in circular says
quite explicitly that it preserves the areas of "pedals" [sic],
so it's unlikely that this is adjustable without hacking the
code. (Hmmm, maybe I will write to the maintainers and ask
them to correct the spelling of "petals" throughout ...)

  On the other hand, there are a *lot* of alternative windrose/circular
histogram-plotting functions out there in CRAN-contrib-land.
library("sos"); findFn("wind rose") finds them in packages
plotrix, openair, oce, climatol, IDPmisc, ggplot2 ... and
that's not counting rose.diag in the CircStats package.

  I would take a quick look and see if any of those packages
work for you.
