Our 100 t store is 65 ft by 100 ft with 10ft grain walling. There is an air tunnel up the middle and wooden drying floors 80 ft long. The front bay is concrete (no drying floor) as with a heap slope it is not necessary. If you use removable barriers at the front then you would only need an 80 ft long shed.
Wheat has a density of approx. 47 cu ft /t so you can work the figures yourself.

Underfloor ventilation ? How you filling ? How deep do you want to store ? Panels in the door ? We have one shed that is 18metre span then in 6 metre bays each 6 metre bay holds approx 300 ton we then have a 27 metre span one that holds 3500 ton of rape.
Revolves around if your going to tip on the floor or conveyor fill.
