Doubt it, both coalitions have nothing to gain from such a fight and would avoid each other. Size won't save an overconfident mantimahle when two birminghams have him by the spine.

I’m talking about 4 Birminghams going against 5 humongous mantinmahle males. And the mantinmahle males will win.

The Size difference is not much to make any decisive gains, both coalitions have big males in their prime. Moreover Mantinmahles have a very large territory with active prides and cubs in Kruger, they have only made small ventures into Mala Mala(At max the southern reaches of Matshapiri river, near Buffalo Pans). Whereas the Birminghams have at max ventured close to the Matshapiri open area, region around Main camp with their main boundary along the Ostrich/Campbell Koppies. Birminghams also have active prides with young cubs. Both the coalitions have a very large territory with a sizeable pride population and cubs to defend. 

I don't see them clashing anytime soon unless either plans on vacating their established territories for new ones. If such a clash do happen, 4 vs 5 where all are present it won't result any decisive victory for either ... all it would lead to is a lot of roaring/scarps and chasing back n forth like we have seen with Majingilane-Matimba, Matshapiri-Matimba clashes. If a win/victory is to happen it would require one of the coalitions to catch out a lone member of the opposing coalition, critically damage him and in such a case 'size' won't matter at all like sik94 said.
