The standard bit rates (-b) for mp3 are 8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64.
32 corresponds to -comp 44. The size of your output file is determined
solely by the bitrate, the resampling and downmixing serve to improve the
quality - you are encoding less information into the same number of bits.

-s refers to the source sampling frequency,
-resample sets the *output* sampling frequency.

-a downmixes stereo to mono.

So try
-b 32 -a --resample 11.025 --highpass 5

(the highpass frequency should always be less than half the sampling
frequency or you will get aliasing noise)
