After carefully and thoroughly considering the question, I am of the opinion
that it doesn’t matter.

I care to the extent that I’d like to be able to say, “Hey, I made an X-wide
Prowler,” and expect that the other person could glean enough from that to
infer relative size before actually seeing what it looks like.

Coolness trumps wideness, and this is pretty dern cool.

Why, thank you. I figure this’ll go over better in a MichLTC display than a
Toa-based train (though I haven’t ruled out that possibility).

Dave,
This is a sweet interpretation of a Prowler. I think the overall form is right
on and the size is fine. As to the “x-wide” question, that’s a tough one. One
way of determining the issue is to look at the roadway for which this vehicle
was built and see if it fits within the parameters. Another thing is to go by
the wheelbase, but this may just be doing the same thing as the first. A third
option would be to average the widths of the “section bodies” of the car. I’m
not sure if this helps any but just know that nevertheless this is a cool MOC. I
would also suggest creating a hover version, like something we’d find gracing
the skies of The Fifth Element.
