Ed Toton made a lunar Monolith scene, but the dimensions weren't listed (it's
way too small to be 2x8x15, though):

Marc Thomas did make a LEGO-based movie version of 2001, and according to the
responses, it did include a Monolith that apparently was based on Ed's version,
but again, no dimensions were listed, and I'm not going to wait for it to
download just to count the bricks.

Gary Thomas made a Moonbase module with a Monolith that he says is 2x8x15
(which, incidentally, does confirm your math, Larry):

Getting into SNOT construction would almost certainly increase the minimum size
required to allow funky interior constructions, so 4x16x30 is probably the
minimum size for a vertically built, 100% smooth-surfaced version. Of course,
if you're going for a 100% smooth surface, who says you have to build it
vertically? I just thought of a way to build a 100% smooth-surfaced horizontal
1-2/3x8x18 version, which would be almost exactly the same size as a 2x8x15
upright. Unfortunately, I don't have the 36 black 1x8 tiles required to pull it
off. It also might be a tiny bit fragile.
