That's how it's always worked.

It seems to me that, if a particular type of rock is cleared. that type will regen as small the next day.
For instance, suppose I mine all of the Veldspar out of a belt, but nothing else, and no one else mines there, the Veldspar will regen as small the next day, but the rest will regen as large. (Assuming that the belt hadn't been mined out for at least three days.)
Does that seem reasonable?
Nope. The Veld roids will respawn as a random (weighted) assortment of each rock available in the belt.
Before Hidden belts, people would occasionally try to "breed" their belts in Nullsec to be closer to pure ABC by popping Low end roids, but only mining ABC roids until they were at a low level (avoiding popping them).

Not sure I understand. That seems to disagree with my recent research. For instance, I tried 10 different betls and counted every rock in those belts by type and by concentrate level. After the DT respawn, I counted them again. Exact same of number of rocks of each type and concentrate level in the belt. FWIW, they were actually all in the exact same places too. Bookmarks from the day before would take me right to certain rocks that were easily identifiable to me. So I had a friendly mining corp come in and wipe out a few of them, then counted again after respawn. Same as above. The numbers were exactly the same, only the sizes were different.
It's possible that CCP's stopped randomizing new rock spawns. Might have been part of why they've been able to amputate DT length (1hr-15min is amputation, not shortening).
Test it on SISI.

It seems to me that a lot of knowledge fron the 'old days' is still circulating. No offense, but what I am looking for is experimental data from the period since the last upgrade.
And how does my suggestion not get you that data?

Documented where? Be helpful.
What? Krixtal? Helpful? No...

Yes, it will get larger, by the same amount of ore that would have spawned in that satge of the respawn cycle. That may be true, but I have the time to find out for myself. I feel better when I do that. 
I would once again like to suggest SISI so that your results are highly unlikely to be skewed by other player's activities. Also (if you're interested in that) you'd be able to figure out how it works in null.
