The InReach units seem to be larger than the spot3 units. I need to keep the device in my smack pack on the chute (if the plane and I should become inconveniently separated). Can anyone comment or relative sizes and stuffing the InReach into an emergency pouch on the chute riser?

Our parachute rigger has made pouches for the (slightly shorter than the new units) InReach SE and added a hard point on the left parachute riser cover of a couple of chutes for us.
The hard point is (I think) about 3" of 1.5" webbing oriented vertically.
The pouch has 2" velcro on the strap. The velcro is sandwiched pretty tight between the webbing and riser cover so departure from the harness is doubtful. It will not interfere with parachute operation.
InReach functionality is great in that position. Even the old SPOT 1s and 2s worked there.
