I have looked at the documentation, but did not see an option to set the font size of the authors list without modifying the font size of anything else in the title block.
Is there a way to do this?

After issuing
\geometry{paperwidth=42in, paperheight=60in}
you have to recalculate \TP@visibletextwidth and \TP@visibletextheight. So, after that line, add
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{\textwidth-2\TP@innermargin}
\setlength{\TP@visibletextheight}{\textheight-2\TP@innermargin}
\makeatother
MWE:
\RequirePackage[demo]{graphicx} % remove this line in your document
\documentclass[17pt, a0paper, landscape]{tikzposter}
\geometry{paperwidth=42in, paperheight=60in}
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{\textwidth-2\TP@innermargin}
