Currently the "kid" field for JWTs are huge.

{
  "alg": "RS256",
  "kid": "_WhQpNuQekLjdivtczqb_wP8T5_jZ29ooWOzlkokoSj_5_8lpiXiGRkjG3n0OlDMbR64fuZ5zddo09xG-yoIgpc6VsRxBlISBnl0_-YdyqjYMcLPfQquOMSU4aQqh63Le7liIXcfVIZGtH_59CatiJbtyxYXWQdrlYxipS_y0f_KAOXZd_Y4jHet1aAxYS5JXAvBfMuCFQC_FDSDsqnmVa9OLpb-A3jbpEzmXkAxoHCvS3ppR8kfyr412CRKXyiUNddP6Fe1mt5FoAZHJ3j3jeIIr-lDWK44KzLovj_PZk3CIAErxx-S9fit3jkQKBEodhX0XVppzPsLOZGa3CojEw==",
  "typ": "JWT"
}

Make these smaller to reduce the overall size of the JWTs.

See https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs for example of smaller key ids.
