They look they they are okay, they could be a little bigger but they're not too terribly small. Here's a handy chart you can consult:

I agree that isn't too awfully small. I am also on day 16. Good luck!

I would definitely leave the humidity down until lockdown, then up to around 70-75%. That's my plan for Friday.

I always keep my humidity between 45 to 56% and when it gets close to hatching I then up the humidity to near 70%I have good luck in hatching.

xs 2 they are a bit small, but not awful. I would ddefinitely keep your humidity in that 25-30% range for the rest of the hatch. (I aim for 30-35% for the first 17 days and check air cells. If I can run dry and stay above 25% I do.) Then up to 70-75% for hatch. If you are still worried about them being too small at lockdown, you can hatch them upright in cut down egg cartons to keep any excess fluid from entering the air cell at internal pip.
