With that setup you'll only need 1 aux channel for the 2nd ESC and 1 extra channel for the BEC.

A 3 channel spekrtum receiver will provide the bare minimum as far as channels go. This will be the same size as the 2 and 5 channel version as they all use a similar sized board and the same case, they just add plugs/covers for the unused channels.

If size is the main concern maybe pop it out of it case and waterproof it while you have access and if shorting it out is a concern wrap it in heatshrink.
