A few comments, keep in mind, dimensions of the Millennium Falcon vary by as
much as 40% depending on what source to use. But if you scale it based on the
8 studs as the width of the cockpit you come up with number pretty close to
what Derek mentions below.
Regarding a six stud wide cockpit. That would work if you had a square cross
section, but the cockpit is supposed to be round. Thus you need a six stud
wide area the full sitting height of the minifig. That drives the width up to
8 studs in diameter.
