In logrotate.d, you can specify the file size to rotate at with 
something like: size +4096k 

Of course, the configuration is only read when logrotate runs.  One some 
systems that may be daily, so if you want it to rotate faster you'd need 
to move the logrotate cron from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.hourly.
