I don't mind doing this but do we have precedens in any option? Because
e.g. journal size is just a number (in megabytes), stripe options are in fs
blocks. For orphan file megabytes are too coarse. I can make the unit
fs-blocks, or kbytes, or leave it at bytes, or allow specifying units but
some consistency would be good. Any opinion?

Yes, although that's a side-effect of the option parsing :) Intended use
is that you first disable the orphan_file feature and then enable it again
with new size.
