No way if you impose profiles to be Lorentzian : you may change only
the mean size but the size-distribution will be always a half-Lorentzian.

Only one response for the relation size distribution (P(n))-profile (f(x)):
f(x)= Sum A(n) cos(2pinx/a)
A(n) = 1/N3 Sum (i-|n|)P(i)

Lorentzians are a quite particular case of the above equations.

See Chapter 13 in "X-Ray Diffraction", B.E. Warren, Addison-Wesley (1969).
