Jump Holes have no strict size. All that you see in space is an indication of a spatial anomaly; it is actually space dust being drawn into the gravitational epicentre of one end of the Jump Hole (and leaving it, too, since two-way travel is possible).
The Jump Hole's gravitational pull drops exponentially as you move away from the epicentre, hence making them appear small.
Edit: Navigation Beacons aren't really necessary, considering that we're on the way to having functional Jump Drives (for Capital Ships and possibly very big transports).
Still not a bad idea, though, if you wanted to represent short-range Jump Drives.

Here, let me google that for you? Wormhole.
Then again, we're talking freelancer physics & reality... So all is null and void.

I'm of the opinion that the Daam K'Vosh created the jump holes in Freelancer. It might explain the somewhat odd nature of jump holes. Otherwise, it seems weird that a gravitational anomaly would appear out of nowhere.

That's why it's called an anomaly. The DK quite clearly built their own Jump Gates and left them there for the Nomads to use.
Edit: Plus Valhalla One, a DK library including instructions on how to develop Jump Gate technology.

If we could build these little nav points and call it good...
...
Why build jump gates at all? You can't really call them a prototype to a cosmic phenomenon.

On the serious note I consider gates just anchored holes for stability and safety reasons created and closed repeatedly.

Not sure how to build a jump hole.
Though.....not sure how it would be a cost reduction. Seeing as then every ship would have to be outfitted with a jump drive of some sort to use the beacon system.

I don't think we can make them without the gate though.

Ah. Created. As opposed to built.

Yep... Jump-Gates use the same phenomenon as Jump holes. Except they are temporary and Regulated to be safer
