Powershell Start-Process create new variables

I am trying to use Start-Process command to invoke another session of powershell. But I want to have the windows size of this new powershell to be small so I am trying to pass the following arguments 

$arguments[0] +=  "New-Variable -Name host1 -Value (Get-Host)"
$arguments[1] +=  "$aff = $host1.UI.RawUI"
$arguments[2] +=  "$wff = $aff.WindowSize"
$arguments[3] +=  "$wff.Width = 10"
$arguments[4] +=  "$wff.Height = 10"
$arguments[5] +=  "$aff.WindowSize = $wff"

But it doesnt seem to work.

Any help will be highly appreciated Thanks

Why not just make the new PowerShell hidden?

Start-Process powershell -WindowStyle Hidden ...

Also, PowerShell variables won't transfer from one PowerShell session to another spawned one. If you need that behavior, then store your info in environment variables e.g.:

$env:Width = '10'
$env:Height = '10'
