It's right now at the equivalent of 12 large grey baseplates. I only had
four of the large grey base plates, so the "quad" at each end of the base
consists of 9 32x32 standard size baseplates, which has the same footprint
as four large arranged in a square. That actually makes it a bit harder
since you have provide adequate tunnel coverage for the larger modules.
Right now I have two unused, capped tunnels that can be joined to additional
modules if I ever take this stuff to a fest, and I plan to add a couple more
capped tunnels at each end of the base.
