`guix size <package>' reports the size of the entire dependency tree, not just the one package you specify. Notice that `guix size <package1>' and `guix size <package2>' add up to more than `guix size <package1> <package2>'. This is because <package1> and <package2> share parts of their dependency trees. > 6.

Perhaps, this thread is what you're looking for? https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-06/msg00253.html
