The largest asteroid in our solar system is 637.5 miles across. Thats the long side of Ceres, and its kinda elliptical. The next largest are Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, Davida, Chiron, and Interamnia, or which the largest is barely half the size of Ceres.....SO, I think Type B is probably the largest possible asteroid. Really, though, what is your classification for asteroid? I usually reserve the term for airless rocks, and always use size A for that. Larger rocks support air in SJ physics, as long as vegetation exists.
