 I don't think so. The code calls stat() or blkdev_get_size() to get
 size if the size argument is zero. 

 Please, use BLKID_DEBUG=0xffff env. variable to debug libblkid.
 It prints

    "ready for low-probing, offset=%zd, size=%zd\n"

 after initialization.

try  ./shlibs/blkid/samples/superblocks <device>

this sample program uses only superblocks probing and the prober is
initialized by blkid_new_probe_from_filename() where we call 

 blkid_probe_set_device(pr, fd, 0, 0)

and it works for me:

 BLKID_DEBUG=0xffff ./shlibs/blkid/samples/superblocks /dev/sda3 | grep ready
 ready for low-probing, offset=0, size=2410007040
