The ISS is a closer example of how you can build something large with brute force. It's actually a smidge over 100m on the longest dimension, and it took 40 dedicated individual launches and cost $60bn to assemble.
For comparison, Starlink V3 satellites have a solar array wingspan of 70 meters.

They are, of course, technology that is about 40 years later than the ISS design
