Will the divided, relocated Siberian types’ blossoms return to their original larger size? Photos are of relocated irises. In the original, 12+ years old, large clumps the flowers were abundant and 50% larger to twice as large.

They will recover, but may take two or three years. An iris clump left for that long will have suffered quite a bit of stress, as they should be divided periodically to avoid overcrowding. When you do go to divide such a mass, it will take a toll on them for a little bit.
Rest assured, with proper care your flowers will be back to beautiful in the next couple of years. Dividing them every 3 to 5 years or less will keep them healthy.
