I realize that it was a complete train-wreck of an administration, but why did the NDP have so many ministers without portfolio?

They were without portfolio, but were junior ministers with explicit roles.

How big was the cabinet exactly?

It was 27 strong on leaving office: 11 members were re-elected while 16 were not.

The largest Cabinet was Miller's in 1985, which had 33.

Then there's the matter of Speakers--from what I can tell, defeated Speakers over that span were James Clark (Lib, 1943), James Hepburn (PC, 1948), William Murdoch (PC, 1963), and David Warner (NDP, 1995)

You beat me to it! Yes, that's all of them. Here they are in more detail:

1943 (Liberal government defeated)
James Clark loses Windsor – Sandwich by 3199 (21.6%) (came third)

1948 (PC government re-elected)
James Hepburn loses Prince Edward – Lennox by 55 (0.4%)

1963 (PC government re-elected)
Bill Murdoch loses Essex South by 715 (3.7%)

1995 (NDP government defeated)
David Warner loses Scarborough – Ellesmere by 5376 (19.4%)
