I have seen these claims a number of times. However, when looking at the few images said to be RQ170 in the internet this assumption seems rather unlikely.
In some of those images it looks much smaller compared to structures in the photos.
Look at the canopies in the open (F-18?) canopies in the background

That thing seems actually quite small.
Looking at those images the size in the pictures shown by the Iranians seems reasonable.
