I agree with anyone who says not to cut the layout up at this stage. It looks to me as if the Callahan Central you started with is a very good basic plan -- the video you made 18 months or so ago shows that. I realize you're inspired by the NEC, but that's going to be a lifetime of work, and cutting up what you have isn't likely to get you there any sooner. Plus, if you're graduating in May, with job prospects that seem slightly better than they've been for several years, you're going to be moving out of your family's place. You could probably justify what you have, either still in the basement for visits, or maybe moved into a spare room where you eventually wind up. A more extensive project is realistically going to be some years in the future. As far as I can see, you've put a lot of good work into that layout making it more reliable and somewhat presentable -- I'd keep at it for the time being, with other work going into modules. If you cut up the 4 x 8, it's just going to turn into less than satisfactory modules.
