"How big is Las Noches?"
Pretty gigantic. For one, what reason have we to dismiss the claim of Nel, someone who has lived for a long time in Hueco Mundo, and who used to be an Espada? Her information is pretty relevant to the story, and we have absolutely no reason to doubt her word other than "Well I just don't trust her" which holds no water whatsoever in the face of such a strong character statement, the precise same as Yoruichi's (both being plot relevant).
For two, early series of the SS arc, Kenpachi and Ichigo destroyed half a city just by clashing at full power. Further, even someone like Hitsugaya was lethal to within about 7 miles with just the residual effects of his power. And the lower Espada like Grimmjow are allowed to openly fight to their heart's content without worrying about damaging the palace, Grimmjow being on-par with Hollowified Bankai Ichigo recall. So we know that people who are pretty vastly above the ability to eradicate cities can fight freely without worry about harm to the entirety of Las Noches.
It's only when we get to the top 4 that Aizen feared for Las Noches being broken by their raw power. So, in conjunction with Nel's statement: Las Noches is, in all likelihood, the size of a small country or a medium US state.
