I tried starting emacs as emacs -q -Q -nsl and issuing server-start from the *scratch* buffer. Then from the shell, running emacsclient -n -c -F "((width.200)(height.50)(top.20)(left.2000))" (and/or other geometry parameter values) always gives me a window (fame) with the same geometry as the original frame, at some window manager assigned position.
