Whether Meraxes was unusually large for her age (and right between Balerion and Vhagar in size), had a larger skull but a smaller body, or whether Tyrion was somehow mistaken isn't made clear. Later canon, particularly Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories, makes clear that Vhagar lived much longer than Meraxes and was nearly as large as Balerion by the end.

In his initial reverie about dragons in A Game of Thrones, Tyrion recalls Vhagar's skull as visibly smaller than both Meraxes and Balerion.

Indeed, part of Jaime’s core character later is his refusal to serve as Tywin’s heir, and he cites being a Kingsguard as his legal excuse that Tywin cannot overturn.

On a related note, the idea of Jaime inheriting the title of Warden of the West from his father, or being granted the title of Warden of the East, becomes baffling when it’s established that the Kingsguard, of which Jaime is a member, cannot inherit or hold any title at all, as they are sworn to their king in perpetuity and renounce their family claims so they can serve the king without family matters getting in the way.

To downplay this discrepancy, in subsequent novels the "Warden of the East" title is only ascribed in the appendices and only mentioned in passing twice. Later on, however, they seem to be little more than honorary titles, with each lords' power determined by their feudal and familial ties, and it's firmly established that Kingsguard members like Jaime cannot hold lands or titles.

The four Wardens (of the four cardinal directions) initially seem to be very important positions that each convey military authority over a quarter of the realm, and Ned objects to Jaime Lannister becoming Warden of the East because he'll eventually succeed his father as Warden of the West as well.

Later books go into more detail about the Wall and how it would be difficult to pass it without going through Castle Black, which was nearby.
