I get closer to your numbers if I use 16 levels instead of 160.

Also, we don't have a firm number on what percentage of the space was unused.
Yeah I mixed up my conversion to square miles (I think in metric)
Using that floor layout one, two or even three hundred thousand per cylinder seems reasonable. So between two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand Ark cylinders.

For unused space I would say that the Ark was close to full capacity (80%?) at the time of arrival and was expecting to add more habitats using the resources found in system.
