It's not that the tardis is big.  It just (automatically) expands
every time a new room is needed.  That's why there are two control
rooms -- it was easier to build the new one than to modify the old 
(gee, that sounds familiar...).  Besides, You want lots of space
for all the people the tardis carries.  For example, in a couple episodes,
the Tardis takes 50+ people back to their respective 'time zones' in 
one trip, thereby minimizing the number of people suspecting that there's
something strange going on.
