The issue is that at the average height of the astronaut the rotation speed at their head would be half of that at their feet given the 4-5m modules we can launch.
I don’t know what is the maximum difference that would be tolerable but it’s not 2x for sure.
So to get it down to single digit % you are looking at 200M+ or so in diameter.
If it’s just for sleeping and liquid pooling at the back won’t pose a health risk then if they are lying down the diameter can be much lower but you are still probably looking at 15-20M which might be possible with inflatable modules I think 3.5-4X expansion would be quite possible with the existing inflatable modules we have.
