The dragon bounding box is 16*8*16, and thusly is the required area of homogenous blocks.

I wouldn't recommend trying to fill that many blocks in survival (I mean, go ahead if you like, but that's just a whole lot of work...); and if you're in creative mode anyway, you could just use a tool (/fill in 1.8, /#fill with Recurrent Complex) to fill the area. There's no need to do all this work manually :P
