I doubled it from ~10 GiB to ~20 GiB:

This example template uses EFI, which I'm not that familiar with. But I
suspect something about the bootloader or filesystems configuration is
wrong.
From 'gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl':
;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System
;; Partition on /dev/sda1.
(bootloader (grub-configuration (grub grub-efi)
(device "/dev/sda1")))
;; Assume the target root file system is labelled "my-root".
(file-systems (cons* (file-system
(device "my-root")
(title 'label)
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
(file-system
;; Specify partition here since FAT
;; labels are currently unsupported.
(device "/dev/sda1")
(mount-point "/boot/efi")
(type "vfat"))
%base-file-systems))
