See <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cartoon.html#style> for full explanation of each parameter, but here are some examples:

cartoon style helix width 1 thickness 0.5
cartoon style strand width 1 thickness 0.5
cartoon style arrowScale 3
cartoon style coil thickness  0.25

Also if you use the Presets menu to apply the cartoon styles it will show all the commands in the Log, so that is a way to see more examples.
