I think you're actually asking more than about infinity.

It seems like you're actually asking about mass, volume, greatness, and smallness, and how they interact with infinity. Or at least, you're asking about those four as much.
Anyway, a couple guesses at the answers. First, I think the volume of the infinite number of infinitely small particles would simply be infinite first, and that infinity does weird things and is not large or small in a cut and dry, referential way. So the answer I suppose would be that they infinite RATHER than being large or small.
The other more simple answer I think would be that basically 'large' is the right answer, since even if the infinitely small particles are tiny, there's still something infintesmally small that makes it a particle of some sort. And since there is something, however tiny, to each particle the infinite quantity of the particles ensures that you have and infinite positive quantity of particles, and so matter or what have you. So the infinity of the quantity of the particles wins out and makes it large, basically. Or what I said above. Or both. Or, probably neither. I'll let people with knowledge of set theory go on to refute me.

If one has infinite many infinitely small particles of infinitely small mass is the volume and mass large or small? Thnak you for taking your time to read and possibly respond to this post.
In order to start conversation that is likely to be more involving than the above, i want to know what your thoughts are on the colours green and orange. Also, how do you approach the concept of sobriety?

Psuedo-scientic metaphysical question thingy about infinity. Plus some other random stuff.

This kinda hinges on quantum, planck units, and even dark matter

Your central premise here is the reason I posit Unity as the First Cause.

I don't know about the rest of the questions but I approach sobriety with atleast a liter of tequila *NM*

Well, you haven't said anything about the space or density, so it's impossible to comment on volume.
