There's no way at present.

IMO it would be easier for SFTP, as the protocol has an explicit
extension mechanism. If you're prepared to trust this mechanism
to make assertions about the SSH channel the SFTP session is
running over, then it would be very easy to wire it up to make
changes to buffer sizes, the number of requests in flight, etc.
as these are already configurable.
