Clone!Syaoran wasn't the same age, but he had the same appearance immediately. If you look here http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/melipon/cloned.jpg, from chapter 119, you can see that the clone was the same size as real!Syaoran, and we can assume that he had just been recently cloned because it was before real!Syaoran was fully sealed. I don't think Fei Wong cloned him when real!Syaoran was born and then let them both hang out for 9 or 10 years before sealing real!Syaoran....
And I remembered it wrong, but real!Syaoran is definitely a smaller child for quite a while in the tube, because in various places we see him smaller than clone!Syaoran. He started growing later though, before he opened his eyes (Yuuko says "He has awakened" and we see his eyes opening) and before he breaks out of the tube.
For example, during the Shurano/Sharano arc, we see this:

There is a size difference and real!Syaoran's face is rounder and more kid-like. He also looks the same as he does when we see in the later chapters when Fei Wong is sealing him, and he is a child there still.
Then we also have this, which I put side by side
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/melipon/beforeafter.jpg
He looks taller in the later chapters.
We know that time has passed because clone!Syaoran grew at the same rate that Sakura did, and the other characters aged at an appropriate pace in Clow as well and that throughout that time as we can see, real!Syaoran has remained the same size until recently and clone!Syaoran had grown already.
Also, even in clone!Syaoran's dreams he grew, as seen here:
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/melipon/syaoran1.jpg

So real!Syaoran used to look like a little kid until fairly recently in the Tsubasa timeline, and now they're the same size:

Phew. Anyway, I hope that clears up what I was trying to say

That certainly does clear things up. I suppose I overlooked that in my marathon :sweatdrop: He certainly does look older and taller. I wonder what role this plays in the timeline. It's quite confusing @_@

Aaah, gomen for not clarifiying. Those are from chapter 91.

I just think that because he was sealed, his growth was stunted as well. As he started regaining consciousness and the ability to "control" clone!Syaoran, his body also started growing (magically) as well, to make up for all the years he had been trapped there, until he finally awoke and his body was the size it was supposed to be, the same size as clone!Syao.
The way I think of it is that clone!Syao just sort of took over where real!Syao was stopped for the time when clone!Syao was sent to Clow through now, but not real!Syao caught up.
That's just what I think though.

Quite possible, but reading this gave me a theory of my own. As shown, CloneSyaoran was larger than Real Syaoran, but suddenly Real Syaoran was able to gain power and began to grow. It's possible that CloneSyaoran's power was weakening, and his power was returning to Real Syaoran, and that returning power allowed Real Syaoran to grow to the point that he could escape from the tube. Also, by controlling CloneSyaoran, Real Syaoran might have taken that energy, and maybe even that life force to become his real age. Of course it's just a theory.
