What does it do?

This '_' is shorthand for 'max'. There's also '0' for 'min'.

I don't think there's any special meaning for this. Any unrecognized
parameter is parsed as a number (0), and the selected region gets resized
to 0 (which actually needs to be fixed).

'resize =' should (and does) resize vertical splits to equal widths for
me. Does it not work for you?

The separator of two regions is always one character, so for vertical
splits, it's a single-cell character wide, and for horizontal splits,
it's one character high (which is really unlikely to be only a couple of
pixels on any system). I am not really sure why you should see it any
different.
