You need to code that as e.g.
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@Size">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="Fitem[@Size > 10000]"/>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="Fitem"/>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>

You can't build XPath expressions at run time as you approach tries.
