You cannot change the size of the StarterGui, but you can create a Frame, make its background transparent, set its Size to UDim2.new(0, 1000, 0, 1000), and put the rest of your gui as a child of this frame. The frame's parent should be a ScreenGui, whose parent is StarterGui.
Note that using an absolute size like this means that players running a lower resolution may not see your entire GUI. Consider using a script to check the AbsoluteSize of the ScreenGui and adjust the size of the frame I described accordingly (ex if the Absolute Size is 1200x600, make the frame's size UDim2.new(0, 1000, 0, 600))
AbsoluteSize is a read only varaible. This is to be used with scale. This will change depending on the screen resoulution.
On 1080p a gui with UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.5,0) will take up 960,540
A screen that is 100px by 100 px would take up 50,50
So The AbsoluteSize is 50,50 or 960,540.

You can't set the size of the Startergui, however you can set the size of things such as Frames and GuiObjects. You need to use Size, not AbosluteSize though.
I know, but I forgot to adjust my gui to the absolute size when I made it, so I wanted to take a shortcut rather than changing the whole gui, thanks
