Is that Low 1-C?

It will be a weird question. Think of a rope, inside this rope there are 2A structures. 2A structures are compressed in a certain axis in the rope and this rope continues indefinitely. On the outside of this rope is an endless structure larger than the rope. Would this build be Low 1-C?
 
Yes if the 2-A structure has 0 volume inside this larger infinite space. But if all we know is that it's infinitely larger than that 2-A structure, that's not enough.
As far as being larger than infinitely-sized objects or spaces goes, one must analyze the context of the feat in question to determine if it truly qualifies for Higher-Dimensional Existence. In terms of volume (Or, more generally, measure), the only way to be truly bigger than an object of infinite size is to have a non-zero size in a space of more dimensions than the object in question. However, portrayals of more expansive realms containing infinitely large things within themselves are not necessarily indicative of such.

A good construction to exemplify this is the topological space known as the long line. In essence, it is a space obtained by taking an uncountably infinite number of line segments and “gluing” them together end-to-end, and so it is in some sense much longer than the real line, which is comprised of only a countably infinite number of such line segments. Nevertheless, they are both 1-dimensional spaces.

The long line itself can also be generalized into 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional analogues, and as such the same principle holds for higher dimensions as well.
Ultima's comment here will help. As you can see, it's not enough to be infinitely larger than it.
Infinitely larger in general doesn't get you to Low 1-C whether from Low 2-C or from 2-A. You need qualitative superiority and then it's the case for both.

Proving qualitative superiority is where you might find differences. Being infinitely larger than a 2-A space is certainly better supportive evidence than just being infinitely larger than a Low 2-C space. However, it's not a sufficient criteria.
DT also has touched on this here, and that it's not enough to be infinitely larger or see it as a small piece.
