Playing with different page sizes is good thing to try if you're trying to get maximum performance. Too bad Innodb currently does not allow to specify it for table or index but it has to be global and requires server rebuild. Generally for certain OLTP workloads you might like to have smaller pages as these allow more distinct peices of data to be in buffer pool. For DSS workloads which require large scans or deal with large rows on the contrary large pages could be good to avoid fragmentation. Yes.
