Handy, I'm not a seasoned grower but I had a plant that looked exactly like that early on. Leaves looked like they were from a variegated ornamental of some sort (hosta or whatever). As soon as the patch dried up and the weather warmed up it out-grew the problem.
The only disease I could find that remotely resembled what I was looking at was aster yellows, but plant recovered so it probably wasn't that.
They grew to be normal sized leaves but got a bit sunburned from the lack of green pigment.
Threw out double secondaries at the affected area too.
Plant is fine now.Hope this helped.
