There should be a tool that allows you to drop the size of a item to whatever you want, before I explain it here is the recipe: I know it seems a bit expensive but this tool will be so useful for creating small redstone devices the work in the space of a single block but with superb complexity. Use: build a redstone computer or something of that sort. Highlight it with the tool. Next a GUI will pop up and you put how much times you want it smaller (eg 1/100th of it's current size) and it will do that. This way it will not allow you to make tiny devices without working to build them but still making them small. There is not much else to say so support and constructively criticize away!
How would this be useful? Massive redstone contraptions such as computers need to have dozens or hundreds of signal inputs and outputs, but something like that shrunk to the size of a single block would have at most six input/output possibilities. I guess this could be useful for miniaturizing components of complex contraptions, but it would be a better idea to just add common circuit components such as timers, latches, and the like as their own entities (such as Repeaters and the upcoming Daylight Sensors).
