Did it ever? The only sizes I remember (since the mid 1970's) are 1L and 
5L. 5L was only available for Photoflo 600, which was best avoided : 
stored at low temps it developed a flocculate which rendered it unusable. 
(It cost a mint and I ended up having to throw away about 4.8L)

Process Supplies (superb, BTW) in London sells Photoflo; this will be 1L 
of Photoflo200 at 19.73GBP. See item 6 at http://tinyurl.com/36s4nwb

For film use I far preferred Ifotol, it was cleaner working and less prone 
to greasy drying marks (which were a racing certainty with Photoflo if you 
followed Kodak's 200:1 dilution, 2000:1 was safer). Ilfotol is still 
available and is cheaper at 1L for 10.42GBP, see item 2 at 
http://tinyurl.com/3ykgzvz - but I have no idea how it may work within 
Paul's ink formulations.
