While you're at it, I heard once that the latest GCC *manual* (>500 pp at last look) was larger than "the whole Unix distribution". Is there any truth to that?

compressed (gz), the entire v7 tape 3.5MB. The compressed (gz) source is 250k. Uncompressed tape is 11.5MB while the source is 1.1MB.

gcc 7.2.0 compressed (gz) is 105MB. gcc/doc directory is 13.5MB:

% tar tvf gcc-7.2.0.tar.xz gcc-7.2.0/gcc/doc | awk '{a += $5;} END {print a;}'

13,470,317

So yea, gcc 7.2 manual is larger than the v7 distribution tapes.
