"Sleng Teng" simply refers to herb, not specific to any amount. It has nothing to with "slim" versus "fat".

To be "under your slim or fat ting" is another recreational activity altogether.

A little bit into the article it goes:

...Now there was a rhythm, but there was no song. So Smith simply sang. "Is one take. Me never stop. All the lyrics me sing me never sing them before," he said. That included, of course, the refrain "under me Sleng Teng".
"Is after me sing it me know what the term is. Me sing 'look inna me eye red like blood'. Me say all right, a weed," he said...
