As said it's not the plate size but the letter size, font and spacing. With that in mind and the amount of space the dragon and flags were taking up on your 8x5 plate, I'd say that one was illegal anyway, so you are no worse off.

I have a plate similar to your original (no silly dragons, just a Euro GB plate) on my XT600 bought before my Portugal trip last year, and the MOT tester just said that technically it was a fail, but he could read it clearly from a distance so he wasn't going to worry about it.

Obviously up to you if you want to take the risk, but IMHO, it's not a big risk.
