Genesis.
It makes a new plane that reaches 180 feet in radius and then grows 1 foot per week, for 52 feet per year. Prime material planes have lifespans, and some have had sentients on them for millions of years. So we can assume that at least one of these prime material planes had a level 17 psion (or a wizard with the aptitude to make it into a spell).
So a genesis power created with "underground" terrain and stocked with golems and stoneworking constructs and so on 200,000,000 years in the past has a radius of 10,400,000,000 feet or about 2 million miles; that's about 505 Earths end to end in radius. That's about twelve and half trillion (~12,560,000,000,000, actually) square miles of space and 4 and a half billion floors. It will be a long time before anyone runs out of room.
In fact, as far as the inhabitants are concerned, The Tower extends forever and they have no idea where it came from. Golems work tirelessly to make new stairs, doors, halls, and rooms in areas that are not inhabited (people stay away from them; they build without thought to people), leading to nonsense stairs that go to nowhere, doors in bathroom walls, and so on. Mindless undead told to defend The Tower from intruders are now anathema to all other things in The Tower, seeing them as intruders. Intelligent undead living near such floors or regions could even exploit this, extorting villages for the flesh of their dead in exchange for protecting them from the hordes. Whole empires, nations, and kingdoms crop up in the halls, some of which are massive enough to have their own weather patterns while being inundated with strange lights, or with fake sunlight drawn from gates to the positive energy plane such that one can see massive tiles just past the clouds, and traps crowd the halls in the regions where no one has trod in centuries or even millenia.
