Either size, travellng at warp 7, it would have hit Epsilon 9 and been gone before anybody got two words out. (not an original thought -- even the Apogee VFX supervisor was quoted saying the same thing in 1980.)
Also, keep in mind that one of the prime (re)writing forces on the movie was Gene Roddenberry, who once said VGER is bigger than the universe.
Uhhh-whaahhh? (source for that was either Syd Mead or Jon Povill, but I can't remember which.)
