Now, that's just what's in the bump on top of the saucer. The whole saucer
would fill a room.

Let's not get carried away.  The model of the Enterprise used to film the
original series (thus not a refit like the 1701-A or a later model like the
B, C, or D) was a mere 11 feet long, and eyeballing it, it looks roughly
minifig scale.

The saucer couldn't be more than 4.5 feet in diameter- and that's stretching-
so it would probably fit in all but the *smallest* of rooms.  It's even likely
that you could squeeze a model of the whole thing in LEGO in a room devoted to
that purpose...

but it would still take a heck of a lot of LEGO.

I figure it'd be about 22 feet long in minifig scale (I'm going by the
enterprise length as being 289 meters as stated at
http://www.datasys.com.mx/~chaco/ncc1701.htm and that 1 minifig scale foot is
about 7 milimeters) And with the saucer being slightly less than half,
that'd make it probably just under 10' in diameter for mf scale...
