Is that rly the edge of the city thing?
In that case, it canΒ΄t be larger than EarthΒ΄s radius if the sun is outside of it.

That's when he's floating up to the surface of the water. Also, from what I understand of the Blame! univere, the megastructure extends past the planet jupiter. It really is mind boggling 0.0
Here's a quote from wikipedia that explains it better than I can.
"In regards to the scale of the structure, NOiSE, the prequel to Blame!, states in its final chapter that "At one point even the Moon, which used to be up in the sky above, was integrated into The City's structure". It has been suggested by Tsutomu Nihei himself in his artbook Blame! and So On that the scale of The City is beyond that of a Dyson sphere, reaching Jupiter's planetary orbit (32.675 AU, or roughly 4,901,250,000 km); this is also suggested in scenarios such as Blame! vol. 9, where Killy finds himself having to travel through a room roughly the size of Jupiter (roughly 143,000 km.)"

Thought, even if I realize the problems with this suggestion, I find interesting the idea of a world with a surface circa 1 trillion greater (1000 000 000 000) than that of Earth.

Yes, it have been suggested, hovewer, in that case, the edge of the city would
1) be totally dark.
2) Have temperature not that far away from deep space (-273.15 celsius).
3) completely cratered, due to many teratons of debries cascading all the way from the Oort cloud, at tens of thousands kilometers a second.
Also, I remember reading once that if Jupiter itself was dispersed into a sphere the diameter of its orbit around the sun, it would be only be circa 10 meters thick.
Obviously, gravity is regulated but an interesting question would be where all the matter making such a large object would come from.
