Good thing you reminded me that this is about inserts, and in that
case no, ExecInitModifyTable() doesn't know all leaf partitions, it
only sees the root table whose batch_size doesn't really matter.  So
it's really ExecInitRoutingInfo() that I would recommend to set
ri_BatchSize; right after this block:

/*
 * If the partition is a foreign table, let the FDW init itself for
 * routing tuples to the partition.
 */
if (partRelInfo->ri_FdwRoutine != NULL &&
    partRelInfo->ri_FdwRoutine->BeginForeignInsert != NULL)
    partRelInfo->ri_FdwRoutine->BeginForeignInsert(mtstate, partRelInfo);

Note that ExecInitRoutingInfo() is called only once for a partition
when it is initialized after being inserted into for the first time.

For a non-partitioned targets, I'd still say set ri_BatchSize in
ExecInitModifyTable().
