I'm 6' tall, with a 36" inseam (i.e. short torso, long legs) and 105 kilos (i.e. I weight too much). I've been riding the Nozomi, Hikari, Hikari RailStar, Kamome, and Sonic trains for the last 3 weeks and have found the regular seats to be just fine. I haven't been tempted even once to pay extra for the green car.

JR East(JR東日本） runs all Shinkansen NORTH of Tokyo.
JR Central (JR Tokai) runs all Shinkansen between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka.
JR West runs all Shinkansen from Shin Osaka to Hakata (this will change in March 2011, with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen).
Some of the 700 series train sets (all N700 series) have green cars (often 16 cars long). As others have pointed out you can use these trains when they run as Hikari with your green train pass.
