Does anyone have any idea how much space their is between the silt sea on the right of the map and the crimson savanna on the left? What I mean is if you folded the map into a tube, what would be between the SS and the CS, or more percisely, how much?

I think the general concensus is that the known regions of Athas are in the southern hemisphere, somewhere in the mid to high latitudes. As such, there could be thousands and thousands of miles between the Sea of Silt and the Crimson Savanna (going east from the Sea of Silt, if I understood the question correctly).

As for what's out there, there are only a few references that I know of, and I haven't had my Dark Sun stuff in years. The first boxed set I think makes a mention that the Ringing Mountains circle the entire Sea of Silt, but who knows if the Wanderer was correct or not. There is definitely land east of what is now the Cerulean Storm, as seen on the Valley of Dust and Fire map. I've seen others make mention that there was a reference to a large body of water west of the Crimson Savanna, but you'll have to ask someone else where it was from.

I believe the distance calculator is on Athas.org. If it's not there, umm... then someone can correct me. check it out, it will not only answer your question, but also anything else related to distances for Dark Sun.
