Hi, this is intentional. This popup size is the same for all applets - for example when you click on Notifications or Networks size does not change, which is nice. Pros and cons.

Needs improvement, in no system is the notification area so big.

There is no practical solution for it, sorry. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Design/Frequently_Discussed_Topics#System_Tray_popup_sizing
