Hi Dan,
it depends in the first line of the prototype you try to model. If it is a
product of pure phantasy, just do it the way you think it is best looking.
My favorite engine has a cab of 4x7 (length x width!), but the cabs roof is
6x6. The total length of the engine is ca. 34 studs.

But for other designs much longer driver cabs do work as well. Even for a very
short steamer of only 18 studs length a cabin of 8x6 might work as done here:

So far all my designs offer space for at least 2 minifigs, but in 2 times the
height was not sufficient to stay but only to sit inside...
But it is Lego anyway: do it as you like it.
Regards,
Ben
