"The importance of using const arguments increases with the size of a
program."

why using const arguments impact on the size of program?

Perhaps you misunderstood the statement you quoted. The meaning
is "the larger the program, the more important it is that the
arguments are const[-correct]", or, to make it simpler, "in
a large program const plays bigger role for arguments".

What they're talking about is that as the size of the program increases,
presumably the complexity of the program also increases. By putting const
into your code, you are increasing the amount of documentation that is
directly in your code, and more clearly states certain assumptions about
things. This helps decrease the semantic complexity of the code. It
should make the code easier to understand for the next person reading it.
Easier to read code tends to lead to easier to maintain code.
