Cosplay is about having fun dressed as a character you like. Height doesn't matter. Think of all the tall Eds that are running around. He's suppose to be like 4'11 and I've seen Eds that are over 6'. I've also seen more female Eds than male ones. As long as you have fun go with the character you like.

Just my cosplaying 2 cents.

Hoenheim is pretty tall I think, but in cosplay it doesn't matter as much. Proper height helps, but you can be a short or tall Hoenheim, and if your outfit is recognizable, people will know who you are.

The only reason you'd need to worry about height is if you had an Edward cosplayer to hang out with ^_~

But, like already said, most cosplayers don't pay attention to how tall the character actually is (though it's cool that you do XD I often do the same thing, but it's generally based on the group I cosplay with since I'm the shortest and thus need to play the shortest character). As long as you put a lot of work into your costume and it's recognizable, you should be totally fine ^_~

I honestly wouldn't worry too much about Hohenheim's height when cosplaying. If worse comes to worse, you could always get some elevator shoes. XD

All joking aside, others have beat me to what I said. Just as long as your face and outfit are that of Hoho-papa's, you'll be recognizable. :3

Plus, if you were to make yourself as tall as him, it might scare some people, since he's freaking mammoth. Not that I'm complaining. xD <3
