Regardless of the size of true Vikings in the past Thorfinn's height does not make much sense when you consider the height of his family members. His father Thors and great-uncle Thorkell were both extremely tall and his mother wasn't particularly short. Even his sister is taller than him so the only thing I can think of to explain this is some sort of malnourishment while he grew up with the Askeladd band. As for the reason that despite his size he is still so dangerous I would say it is mostly thanks to his technique not necessarily that he is significantly stronger physically than his opponents.
