Do we need a max size? Provided a large size module has connections in the
right place, or is self-contained inside road plates, I think it could be as
large as desired. The city block I built for last year's club layout was 2x4
baseplates. Now, if I had built that of 32x32 modules, I could shrink it
down to 2x3 baseplates if necessary, or plug more modules into teh middle to
make it fill more space.

Let's take Bill Ward's post as a starting point...
