Yards might indeed be the scale of the battles, but there's no telling if that has any relation to the size of the landscape. Artistic license fits in there somewhere, so you have to take the measurements with a grain of salt. FFXI solved the problem by making the "days" quite a bit shorter, so that an in-game week would take just a few hours, giving things a better sense of scale. Unfortunately, Azerothian time is scaled to that of Earth, so there's no way of using the in-game metrics to get an accurate representation of the world, or at least of reconciling the world in the game with that in the books.
