I suspect that there are just variations, but possibly also driven by what you will be wearing on your hand. The C17th infantry swords I have (some hangers and a proto-mortuary sword) have small guards because I think the users would have bare hands or simple leather gloves. The cavalry weapons have bigger guards because I think they'd (ideally) be wearing thicker gauntlets or plate gauntlets if cuirassiers.
