Well yes, some Half Elves are quite large. And some are small and quite slender. Half Elves depending on human and Elven parentage can range from 4 foot tall to a massive 6 foot or better. The 6 foot variety would find wearing Elven Chain impossible, while the very short and slender 4 foot version would be hard pressed to find a mail that would not fit him.
The only Halfings that have a hard time wearing Elven Chains are Stouts, as they have quite a girth for their hight. They might only be 3 feet tall, but, they are barrel chested and in the most simple of terms, fat, or, at least chunky.
What really bugs the crap out of me is the fact that Elven Archers can't wear Elven Mail in game, but, in PnP, that is the only metal armor they can wear. Also, not all Elven Chain is made from metal or mithril. Some of the best examples of Elven Chain is made from living plants.
