The stat block for Dregoth (and, incidentally, the dragon rules themselves) gives no space/reach. The default is, presumably, 20/20 for size G creatures.

But the map on page 70 of DA3 gives a maximum diameter of the steeple at 115 feet, while the map on page 71 gives it at 200 feet, with the figure of Dregoth taking up no less than 100 feet of facing.

What is going on here?

I believe the answer lies with the cult show Doctor Who, wherein the inside of the temple is bigger than the outside, just like the Tardis phone booth.

Doctor Who is not a cult.

It is a way of life.

Dregoth's reach, as appropriate for a dragon of his size (and if I'm not wrong for assuming this), should be 15ft for his claws, wings, etc as he is a Gargantuan (Long) creature and his bite has 20ft reach. Dragons are funny that way, check in the MM1.

The artist wasn´t familiar with the map format (5 ft. squares), and he went away on vacation before he could fix it. The scale of the map is actually 2 ft. squares. We altered the legend to read 5 ft as a quick fix.

Well if we are going to get technical, I believe Dragons (having a higher intelligents order) use metric. So can we plesae have everything in metres. No no lets make it centimetres just to be on the save side

It's not that hard to convert.

Anyway, I was not aware that they changed the size of Athasian Dragon's upon moving to 3E. In the original material Dregoth had a 30 foot overall length (about 9 meters).
