How do Shardblades change shape and size?
0
Live Shardblades can change shape and size based on the needs of the bearer. But if they are a manifestation of a Spren moving fully into the physical realm, how can they change size/mass?

Why would they have mass before they were physical? Heck, they may not even have mass anyway, it's not like swords that big are normally liftable.

Mild spoilers for Words of Radiance and Edgedancer...this isn't an answer to how they do it, but the shard weapon isn't the only example of a spren changing their basic form. Lift's spren Wyndle changes his form to vines to help climb.

Well, if you'd read carefully, it's easy to notice that they aren't fully in the physical realm when they change.
