That's right! As Josephus tells in his History of the Jews, Herod doubled the size of the temple. I don't know how Josephus knew the size it was to be other than to look at the OT directions. The population when Herod built the temple of Jesus' time was greatly increased from the time of Ezekiel. Maybe that's why Herod increased the size of the temple? Who knows...
