In what way?

Scale? Regenerative properties? Shape?

I believe from the context that it is general proportion.  It cant be literal shape, they arent literal Cubes since the outer edges of each level is a circle.  I think he was addressing the fact that many people were picturing something very tall and narrow, as is more typical for a "spire", wheras the novel describes these as being equally wide as they are tall.   

Rygar:
They are cubes.  The circle is within the cube, and the excess space is where things like the ventilation tunnels go.
