Hello Experts,

There is a requirement of getting large packet latency and small packet latency together in a single service.

I understand that large packet latency ping and small packet latency will have different commands,
Large packet : ping IP -l 800
Small packet : ping IP -l 100

Is it possible to incorporate these two together and get a output of RTA and Packet loss. Also if you have any idea to make this possible please let me know.

check_ping does not allow you to maniuplate the size, and check_icmp has one option that might be what you're looking for - If that's not what you're looking for, take a look at the Exchange to see if you can find a plugin that will do that - https://exchange.nagios.org - otherwise, you might just need to write your own to achieve the result.
