There's an article and map posted in another comment.
In the map, there's quite a few smaller structures ("estructuras"), but they may also have been important municipal / religious buildings, and not actual dwellings. So I'm thinking that when you throw in all of the dwelling-spaces and related stuff, the whole area might have been vastly larger than even the full pyramid and surrounding buildings.
