If you're trying to match a stated linear dimension rather than a tonnage, keep in mind that the lengths in Spaceships are more of "guidelines" rather than actual rules. Also, heavily-armored craft may be denser (and thus smaller) than normal vessel; this is discussed in the Pyramid 3/34 article Alternate Spaceships (which you may be using already).

Another way to squeeze in more passenger space is to treat it as lacking life support. This isn't strictly RAW, but is mentioned in SS7 as an option for magical ships that don't need to be physically sealed against vacuum. It effectively doubles the capacity of cabins and seating.
