i suppose it's this file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/blob/master/bootloader/isolinux/bios-boot.png
it is 800x600 (4:3), so we would have to change that file. it will look bad on 4:3 screens then, but they are the minority nowadays. maybe it is possible to not stratch the image and have white borders on the sides that blend over
maybe full hd (1920x1080) would be good, to have a quality image, if technically possible (maybe not)
debian seem to use 16:8 (640x300) https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktop/Artwork/Requirements (if that's not outdated)

To prevent your final splash image from looking distorted start with an image that perfectly matches the aspect ratio of your screen. For example: if your screen is 16:9, start with an image of size 1366x768 or 1600x900 or 1920x1080 and resize it to 640x480.
