I think your comparisons are misguided because you got the original claim wrong.
The claim is not about "largest factory". It is supposed to be the "Largest footprint of any building in the World" [1]. That is, the square footage of a single building.
Several buildings in the same area (which is usually what we understand by "factory", or maybe more accurately a "plant") is not the comparison you should be looking for if you want to disprove this.

- tcoppi 10y agoAs an aside, I typically associate a single building with the word "factory", and a complex of buildings that work together to manufacture a product a "plant" or "facility". Not sure how common that usage is, or if the distinction really even matters outside these measuring contests.
