"Disproportionate" means more than is appropriate. A disproportionate amount of space is more space than should be allocated to the particular object. For example, if you own a restaurant, and three-quarters of your kitchen space is dedicated to storing coffee stir sticks, you are allocating a disproportionat amount of your available space to storing stir sticks.
