It annoys we that BBEdit always opens to fill the screen vertically and
is on the left edge. On a 30" monitor, this is just too big! Is there a
way to set the defaults for this, or to save the current values?

Thanks,
Jim

Window -> Save Default (Project) Window

Will save whatever size the window currently is. Not sure if this is per document or application wide. I work on a tiny monitor (15") so maximum width is ideal for me.

There's a command to use the frontmost window's format as default: Window > Save Default Project Window.

I think I actually filed a bug (case 207434) on the fact that an empty
document window is referred to as a "Project Window" in that menu
item. Am I crazy? I make a new window with cmd-n, which is File ->
New -> Text Document, but if I want to save the size of the resulting
window, I have to select "Save Default Project Window." Suddenly it's
a project window? It just seems weird…
