Its so big that they have to park it on the 2nd door, other wise the tail over hangs on the taxiway, and the internal access road/Airside to the baggage bays becomes 1 lane traffic, due tio the nose over hanging the roadway
How ever no aircraft can be bigger than 80mtrs by 80mtrs as that's what all the bays are set to world wide
Also this might surprise you but a A380 is shorter than the A340-600 and also shorter than a 777
