A good photo lab can make a print from a glass negative. Doing a print the same size -a contact print - is easy. Better photo labs will be able to make larger or smaller prints. It's limited mostly by their equipment. They need a holder to hold the negative in the enlarger. If they have the right holder they can make decent size prints. If it's a nice crisp negative they could enlarge it a lot. Any flaws in focus make the large prints look awful, and they may recommend against doing something like 14x20.
Some places will make a 35mm copy negative and print from that.
