Cisco uses the size(how many entries exist) of the AS_PATH attribute to
determine the best route in case of a tie. Is this something
proprietary to Cisco's implementation of BGP, or did I miss something
when reading RFC 1771?

I could not find any mention of this being used as one of the
tie-breaking criteria in the RFC.
