I don't have concrete examples either, but I can think of two practical 
use cases:
Temporarily changing staff size may be useful in pedagogical sheets. And 
you could make it useful when writing "dialogue" like parts, i.e. when 
two or more instruments or singers sing/play alternatingly. Then it may 
be helpful for sight-reading when your own part is on maginfied parts of 
the staff.
