I don't think it says the exact size anywhere, but I'm guessing at least a mile or two long as it's big enough that the wreckage comprises multiple dungeons, and one of which even has a bio-dome the size of a football stadium.

If I recall correctly, Divinity was the primary vessel of a caravan of connected ships from Androffa. An illustration of the caravan is the introduction art to one of the later AP volumes. I picture it the size of an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars, or perhaps even a Super Star Destroyer. I have reskinned everything from Androffa as being from the Star Wars galaxy, with Divinity and the connected ships being dreadnaught class vessels comprising Outbound Flight (Google for an image of the ships on the cover to the novel of the same name). You can read more about my version of Iron Gods in my thread called Adding Star Wars Flavor to Iron Gods.
Page 65 in The Divinity Drive has a diagram of the Divinity interior along with a distance scale. Measuring from the nose of the nose of the Divinity Core to the tail of Primary Engineering, I get 4600 feet. That is about nine tenths of a mile.
I regularly called the Divinity "a mile-long spaceship" in my campaign.
The caravan of spaceships that RedRobe described is illustrated on the inside front cover of The Divinity Drive. That illustration also says in its notes, "Divinity was the greatest ship of its time. The vessel itself was the size of a small town."
The habitat pod map in book-6 is approx 4250 feet long (85 50-foot squares). The sketch in the inside cover shows the pod as around 55% of the total length of the ship, so the whole ship would be around 6600 feet long or around 1.25 miles.
but going by the sketch that Mathmuse used, it is closer to what they said.
Makes me wonder why it crashing didn't cause an Earthfall like disaster. Although maybe it did but things got better since it was 9000 years ago.

I presume that the Divinity fleet did not crash into Golarion at orbital speeds.
I had Casandalee tell the following story from her memories.
When the Dominion of the Black attacked the Androffan fleet after they gated into Dominion space, the Divinity opened up a random gate to escape. That gate brought them near Golarion, but several Dominion ships passed through the gates along with them by grabbing onto the Androffan ships. The admirals of the fleet decided on a high-velocity pass through Golarion's atmosphere to burn off the Dominion ships, which were not as shielded nor as aerodynamically streamlined as the Androffan ships. The ships had to slow down from orbital speeds and instead traveled at their fastest atmospheric speed.
Alas, the Dominion monsters entered some ships before the re-entry burns. Either Unity or the admirals decided to crash those ships into Golarion, so Unity took remote control of the entire fleet and crashed the compromised ships. The others continued on course under Unity's control.
Casandalee was a junior technician in the Divinity's massive engine room. Forty-foot tall cooling coil number 3 had taken damage from Dominion shots, so a whole team of technicians was making constant makeshift repairs to keep it running. At the bottom of the Divinity's dip into the atmosphere, the cooling coil exploded.
Casandalee died in the explosion, but she learned the aftermath from other survivors afer her body regenerated. Engine number 3 shut down, the Unity dipped down, and crashed into Silver Mount. The other ships found their controls still locked to Unity, who had lost communications. They crashed, too.
The crashes were at 2000 miles per hour, thrice the speed of sound, but a lot slower than orbital velocity 18,000 miles per hour. (Commercial jets travel around 500 miles per hour.) The ships' shields and artificial-gravity inertial dampers protected them. That is why a lot of ships buried themselves in holes--they could survive crashing into solid ground. But the holes were not full-sized meteor craters.
