Yes, a cello is larger than a viola. So much so that it is held vertically and played while sitting down whereas a viola is held as a violin.
"As the viola is tuned a fifth below that of the violin and that the fifth indicates a vibratory ratio of 3:2, it has been reasoned that an instrument built in proper proportion should have a body length in a proportion of 3:2 to that of the violin. This would result in a viola with a body length of 54 cm. (21 in.), which for my part is not an acceptable goal... 'The viola of from 16½ to 17 inches is ideal from all viewpoints.'"
Since Stradivarius' last cellos, the length of the cello body has been around 29.7 inches. (the De Munck being length of 29.2)
