A 2 crew member width space for a corridor is not overtly wide.

Making the rooms too big is something I will have to see when we have more rendered images of the ship and its interiors as they said the walls are layered. They could easily fill the rooms with stuff depending on function and aesthetics. Not all rooms will share the same size.

Fitting a reliant Sen in the hangar is highly improbable. That would mean that the Hangar can carry a gladius and maybe even a Sabre and that is something CIG will never allow as this then becomes the only non capital ship other than a Crucible to have the capability of carrying a full size small ship.
That is why I would like the hanger to be at least large enough to hold an MPUV Personnel as that could act as an escape craft for the entire crew all together. Does it have jump capability? No, but it can handle safe entry of a planet's atmosphere if need be as it was designed to be a space taxi.

. . .I would like the hanger to be at least large enough to hold an MPUV. . .
There has never been any question that the MPUV would fit in the Carrack. The MPUV is truly tiny--less than 10X10m. The real question is whether real fighters will fit so they can be serviced, refueled, repaired, have their NPC crews swapped out, etc. So just noting, all the pics of the Carrack have the hangar about 1/7 to 1/8 the length of the ship. If it is now 150 meters, the bay is about 20-22 meters. That will not fit the biggest fighters like the Banu Defender, Vanguards, Reliants nor even the Sabre, but it will fit the Gladius, Terrapin, Mustangs (very underrated ships with beds!), Avengers, and maybe the Gladiator, and mighty Hornets. If these all fit, the utility of the ship is hugely increased as it becomes a base of much larger operations. Yeah, Reliant Sens will probably not fit, but you can outfit Mustangs with sensors and fly them off the Carrack, sweeping ginormous swaths of space in every system you enter. And if you can fly Ghost Hornets and Trackers, there will be all manner of play options available to the Carrack owner they did not previously have.

The Carrack's size difference could create a huge difference, and BTW; someone here called this many months ago. I thought he was just being cynical, but he was dead on that the Carrack would grown in size. Wish I remembered who made that call.

I don't have an MPUV, so I had no idea how large or small they truly were. They simply looked rather tall for a smaller ship due to their boxes. So I'm grateful that they will fit nicely for emergency situations.

With them being able to hold even larger craft like those you have mentioned, that is an even better turn of events. Thank you @Shadow Reaper for pointing that out for us. It makes me even more happy that I now own a Carrack myself.
