It seems this should work.

Many customizable variables that check the size such as
large-file-warning-threshold etc. count bytes/characters.
But if you think that someone might want to restrict
only the number of lines whereas wanting to see long lines,
then a new option could be added too.

An option to hide by file names (I assume a regexp?) looks useful too.
This is how I configured the xref output buffer to
initially hide only ChangeLog and test files:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'xref-after-update-hook
(lambda ()
(setq-local outline-regexp (if (eq xref-file-name-display 'abs)
"/" "[^ 0-9]"))
(outline-minor-mode +1)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (and (re-search-forward "ChangeLog\\|test/manual/etags" nil t)
(get-text-property (point) 'xref-group))
(outline-cycle)))))
#+end_src
Something like this could be customizable in diff-mode.
