Tor/9M331 - 23.5cm
9M96E - 24cm
ESSM - 25.4cm
SM-2MR - 34cm

in:
my pick would be the dozen (kinda hexagon, with 16 cm missiles)
You do good stuff and it is difficult but the 1st graphic is not good HQ-12 do 5.6 m HQ-9 do 6.8 m...
so the 2nd graphic of 2009... i have some doubts
I understand your idea HQ-9 can have for base missile 5V55U used by S-300PMU1
For HQ-9 diameter i see 70 cm on several blog/sites
same in 3 others minimum
And with pics for see with missile alone almost impossible only possible with others for a comparison.
For me the VLS is big coz HQ-9 is big and also CJ-10 variant i have see up to 75 cm can also be eventualy interesting for later but now ofc secondary.
Another useful option lacking would be hot launched tri-packed cell, where the exaust would be in position where fourth missile in a quadpack would otherwise be. by that logic, even a sm-2 class missiles might be tri-packed.
Of course, with cold launch it may not even be necessary. All that is needed is a few decimeters high or up to a half high meter gas cylinder mechanism underneath. (s300v uses a half a meter long system in its base, and that's a really heavy missile system)
One drawback is that the pressure during cold launch may actually require more strengthening of the cell tube, compared to extreme temperate of the hot launch. Which then may lead to requirement of thicker side walls. But who's to know...

For your ASBM?
IMO this is almost certainly the wingspan of the missile, not the diameter of the missile body.

I noticed late in the evening yesterday, before I fell asleep, I had been thinking about the blockbuster in bottom-right which might fit something like a Tochka
(minus the wings LOL) so I had been thinking about dozen of AShBMs launched in the middle of Pacific which would be the ultimate plunging fire, like one century after the US and Japanese Navies came out with the requirement for plunging fire in the middle of Pacific

Likely intended for non VLS ships. But its an important step closer to a VLS version.
They look like based on PL-12 technology.
