There's a line on the stand which, if you trim it there, gives a couple of inches ground clearance with 26" wheels.
If anything the stand is more stable after trimming. Having the weight of a load way up in the air is what makes it unstable.
I'd be careful trimming the stand for use with 700c, not that you shouldn't. Just make sure how much clearance you will end up with.
