Well if you take the evolution of Starfleet's flagships, starting with the Constitution you'll see that the tendency is bigger ships, not smaller. You have the Constitution, the Excelsior, the Ambassador and the Galaxy. Only the Sovereign breakes the trend- but it owes as much to the warship as the explorer. Same thing goes for the Klingons: the K'tinga, the Vor'Cha then the Negh'Var- they're always getting bigger.
moot point anyways, come to think of it- the Vulcan designs are about 1.5-2 times the length of the NX-01; the Andorian ship is less than 1.5 but whenever we'll get ship schematics in a ST mag I'll adjust the designs. Shouldn't affect that much the CODA size rating anyways.
