Side by side comparisons showing the size differences between the Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R, and Canon EOS RP have been published.
It looks like the Canon EOS R5 is slightly bulkier than the Canon EOS R, which will be welcomed by a lot of photographers, myself included.
The Canon EOS R5 is scheduled to begin shipping in July, though that could change.

I reckon the R6 is going to be like a bit bigger, curvier RP.
They've moved away the magnify button on the right and voila, dual card slots :)
I like the size of the R an I am happy the R5 does not seem much bigger.
I like the new button placement, it is much closer to the 5D4 which was a little annoying on the R. Also compared to the 5D4 the the joystick seems just a tad out of "reach". Just going from my visual observation and how my thumbs "lands" on the R, I'm guessing the joystick would be better positioned on the magnify button. Man, I cannot wait to get this in my hands! I am drooooling!
I have the RP and I use it and especially the Q function very often: I had to think twice where it is - it's maybe in my "muscle memory" so I have not to think using the camera and it took some thinking ;)
I see you asked for the EOS R too: the same solution.
Hopefully it is possible with the EOS R to map Menu to the SET or the magnifier button.
But on the other hand, this makes the R5 compact for travel, which is nice :)
Instead are adding in IBIS, that adds thickness for sure. And something needs to power that as well.
If they keep the same size, the battery life will be even more abysmal than the RP, so it has to increase just a little bit to accompany a better battery.
Not by much, if anything, if you measure them both in PS.
