How big Super Sonic Business Jet is needed?

Dassault made an estimate late last year:

Current technology suggests such an aircraft would have a mtow of well over 100,000 pounds and a carbon footprint around four to five times that of a subsonic aircraft comparable in weight and size
Falcon 7x?
Falcon 7X cabin, IIRC is:
somewhat narrower than Bombardier Challenger/CRJ, and Concorde
somewhat wider than Gulfstream II...V, and wider than ERJ/Legacy.

The 7X cabin is far shorter than Concorde, and shorter than Gulfstream V or Bombardier Global.

How exactly does Falcon 7X cabin length compare against Embraer Legacy?
