I thought I read somewhere in recent weeks to expect kernel package size to shrink in 4.16 or 4.17.

You might've read about the decrease in lines of code [1], which will not necessarily translate in a decrease in the compiled code. The dropped code was mostly unused CPU architectures which I expect did not have an effect on the i586/x86_64 kernel size.
