I faced the same need and on the latest version of Visual Studio, 16.5.2 I figured out that to get a bigger horizontal bar you just need to set ScaleY within the progressbar declaration inside the xml. To avoid glitches on Android and be sure that the progress bar is not overwhelming other elements I added a margin as you can see from the declaration here below.
