WSUS Server audit logs are stored by default at **%ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Logs**. Can the size and retention/rotation settings of these logs be configured via the registry or otherwise?

I'm sorry for misunderstanding of your question. But now, I totally understand your demand.
I reviewed the WSUS console and there is no such option to achieve this feature right now. Also there is no such Official Document from Microsoft. In addition, I researched on the Internet , but there is no related articles for reference.
It is recommended to post your demand on the Windows Server - UserVoice which is a useful platform. There are so many product developers from Microsoft waiting for help. We could post our demand on this platform to confirm whether they have any other comments.
Thanks for understanding and cooperation. Have a nice day :)
