The standard scaling of KSP parts is 0.625 real scale, so if we go by the Wikipedia diameter of 0.88m IRL that'd come out to 0.55m. Since that's not a standard KSP diameter, the closest available is 0.625m. So there you go!

Great kitbash! I'm intrigued to know, how did you put together the lander fairing?

It's because the LR-87 can't throttle, it was proposed that one engine on the core stage would be left off during initial ascent and then presumably air-started before booster sep to conserve fuel and allow the configuration to work effectively. Also the usage of only one engine on the LR-87 pair was possible as the engines only shared electronics and not plumbing (e.g. the RD-180), so the engines would have to be modified slightly for independent operation but nothing too significant afaik.
