Constructing a wtforms' TextAreaField is something like this:

content = wtf.TextAreaField('Content', id="content-area", validators=[validators.Required()])

How can I specify the number of rows and columns associated with this textarea?

You are not supposed to do it in the place where you declare the widget. You have do it in the template. For eg:

{{form.content(rows='50',cols='100')}}

Need to ensure the rows and cols are specified as a string.
