You have to remember that in the game files (A10 for example) its a matter of conveniance to the mapper where things are placed, although The Maw gives you a fairly accurate showing of the ship, A10 (the POA) does not need to be, as you dont see the fighterbay except within a cutscene (the big ass hanger with pelicans etc).
True, but it does make a bit more sense, since the books say Covie Destroyers are about 3k long, and that they dwarf UNSC crusiers... Aslo, you can get an approximate sacle, since the TnR was holding position approx 300 meters above the rings surface, which you can physically measure, and compare to the TnR there, which you can compare to the true size of the prow of the PoA as seen is a10_b (which curiously enough, intersects the hanger, which does imply that the hanger could be somewhere else) and take the a10_b measurement and compare that to a10_space and/or d40_exterior...
Though that brings up another question; if the hanger is indeed in another place, then it is safe to assume that External Access Junction 4C is topside, probably about at the midpoint.... but from there on, the nav point is indesputably strait ahead (other then the turns and such, like near the nipple grunt), but that puts the hanger on either the front, or back of the ship... infortuneately, d40_h offers nothing to help us, but d40_terrain does: The longsword is exiting on the starbord side, at a midpoint on the ship, which would imply that you were driving sideways that whole time, which is moot...
So i think we should stick with whatever the books say, and scale accordingly...
