A Quote from OllieMartin:

Would it be an idea to set the defaults for the new gallery to adopt something similar to the old ones (E.g. Similar image height, width, spacing) so that it doesn't mess up every single gallery formatted across every wiki. But then provide the new rich-text editing and additional gallery parameters. That way the change in galleries is more subtle, but it provides wikiapedians with some additional functionality.

As it stand; we currently have to alter every single gallery on our wikis so that we don't have these obscure heights & widths to battle with. :(

^Seriously, this.
