Linux does not consist of just one program. Also, since parts can be added and removed, both to the Linux kernel, and the overlying system, it is impossible to give a definitive size of anything.

A compressed Linux kernel image will probably measure about 8 MB on a typical desktop system. The cumulative size of the kernel modules ("drivers") is probably about 100 MB. Most distros are shipped on CDs, so to fit on them, they usually have no more than 1.5 GB of software to install by default.
