Folks who are expecting big dies moving forward on these new nodes, some really relevant info for you to digest:

This leads to Navi's scalability. Likely be smaller chips on an interposer.
Simply put, new and smaller nodes do not yield well. Intel has had major issues with their current node and delays to 10nm.
AMD is aware of this and is planning for it, I wonder if NV will keep on focusing to make large monolithic dies.
This also relates to performance claims of GP104, how big do you expect it to be? Could next-gen FF really have shifted down, where ~232mm2 is mid-range and ~440mm2 is high-end, rather than aiming for 550-600mm2 dies...
