Table menu > Distribute Rows Evenly and/or Distribute Columns Evenly

TableStyles and CellStyles do not have the ability to control absolute physical size.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myTables = myDoc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
var T = myTables.length,  t;
for ( t = 0; t < T; t++ ) {
    // "TableStyle_1" and "TableStyle_2" are Table Style Names:
    if ( myTables[t].appliedTableStyle.name === "TableStyle_1" ) {
        myTables[t].cells.everyItem().width = 8;
        myTables[t].cells.everyItem().height = 22;
    } else if ( myTables[t].appliedTableStyle.name === "TableStyle_2" ) {
        myTables[t].cells.everyItem().width = 16;
        myTables[t].cells.everyItem().height = 9;
    }
    // and so on! ...
}
alert( "Done! ...")
