Yes, definitely for global variables, as seen here:
lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/AddressSanitizer.cpp:
2122 Type *Ty = G->getValueType();
2123 uint64_t SizeInBytes = DL.getTypeAllocSize(Ty);
2124 uint64_t MinRZ = MinRedzoneSizeForGlobal();
2125 // MinRZ <= RZ <= kMaxGlobalRedzone
2126 // and trying to make RZ to be ~ 1/4 of SizeInBytes.
2127 uint64_t RZ = std::max(
2128 MinRZ, std::min(kMaxGlobalRedzone, (SizeInBytes / MinRZ / 4) * MinRZ));
2129 uint64_t RightRedzoneSize = RZ;
2130 // Round up to MinRZ
2131 if (SizeInBytes % MinRZ) RightRedzoneSize += MinRZ - (SizeInBytes % MinRZ);
2132 assert(((RightRedzoneSize + SizeInBytes) % MinRZ) == 0);
2133 Type *RightRedZoneTy = ArrayType::get(IRB.getInt8Ty(), RightRedzoneSize);
So roughly to SizeInBytes / 4. Confirmed:
0x000001180a7c is located 4 bytes to the left of global variable 'b' defined in 'main.c:2:6' (0x1180a80) of size 4096
0x000001180a7c is located 1020 bytes to the right of global variable 'a' defined in 'main.c:1:6' (0x117f680) of size 4096
size == 4096, rz_size == 1024.

I was mainly focused on shrinking as that's limiting usage of asan-stack in KASAN.
But I'm open for it. Would you follow what LLVM does, or do you have a specific idea how
to growth?

Primarily this function, that would need a generalization. Apart from that we're
also doing alignment to ASAN_RED_ZONE_SIZE:
prev_offset = align_base (prev_offset,
MAX (alignb, ASAN_RED_ZONE_SIZE),
!FRAME_GROWS_DOWNWARD);
Maybe it has consequences I don't see right now?

Sure, easy to fix.

First feedback is positive:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715#c30
It's questionable whether handling of variables 1-4B wide worth further changes.
