Don't scale the media overall or you'll get a different pattern size,  so
scale either the emission (absorption too) or density or scattering.
Also, if you start with a container size larger or smaller than unit-size the
media will not fill it in the usual way.  It will become thinned out from
either a lack of distance or too much distance for the samples to be checked
through.  You should use scaling of the container+media at the end of the
objects statement block instead.
Scaling of the densities might prove difficult if there are many indexed or
are in separate density statements used in a density map.
I think you should be able to get a reasonable media through scaling in that
way.
