Why do you train some bodyparts twice a week, and some others (like chest) just once?

I don't like your routine very well. But I'm new on this board, so I don't know what your last routines looked like, and what progress you was able to make.
Have you always trained some bodyparts twice a week? Im not a big fan of that system.

looks fine to me. give it a shot, and if it doesnt work in a month, change it up a bit. i like the doing some muscles twice and others once (if you heal quickly and youre not a hardgainer, that is). good luck with it!

as far as the routine goes doing cardio and not training legs will make them smaller. If you are really serious about training the upper body for size just put in certain tempo restrictions for your reps.

that's easy. just don't increase the working loads that you use for legs. it's physilogically impossible for a muscle to contantly hypertrophy using the same load.

if you legs are 29" and you arms are 17" then yes they are out of balance for your physique but you don't see that much in this sport. most of the time you see guys with 19" arms and 25" quads.

basic symmetry guidlines put the calves, upper arms and neck at the same size with the upper leg being 10" or greater than the upper arm. a good V-taper is an un-flexed chest measurment 15" or greater than the waist.
