As if, your logic is as flawed as it is incorrect. The abyss is an infinite number of layers of finite size? Alright then, let's see your proof. Where's the scripture stating your accepted canon? The fact is, it doesn't exist. Therefore your information is incorrect.
The real question of size comes not from the size of this plane or that plane of existence. It simply isn't an issue. It isn't debated because the worlds from which both come are in fact infinite in size. So now that we have this small fact revisiting the everlasting truth, we can now move forward in a more understandable and logical frame of mind.
The real issue and ground for debate are the details of the inhabitants of each plane of existence. If you want to bore a reader into drooling puddles of mindless snooze then by all means mark and record your algorythm for which layers are infinite, finite, layered, etc.
However if you want to entice your reader and actually plan to sell more than two copies(one for yourself and the other sent to your loyal mother who will read anything to make her son happy) then you must entrance and envelope yourself in the details of habitat, ecology, special abilities, realm properties when confronted with which spells are being cast within its boundaries, etc.
It is my humble opinion that fans of the Forgotten Realms material did not become such after having tutored for a doctrate in philisophical quantum physics. Nay, these are the people whom dare to dream during the day of insurmountable odds being held off by the stout of heart, quick witted, and with a dash of shimmering luck to foil the larger than life mastermind monsters. Not on their watch, as it were, shall these beasties rue the day of promising light and everlasting love.
