Does the hallway and foyer really extend so far past the body of the interior space (if there is any existent interior)?
I'm not sure what you mean here, ventris....the body of the interior space, as I understand it, is the rock crest itself, the grey area in both diagrams above. The hallway and foyer do not extend past this, except for a small overhang on the harbor/arch side of the crest.
My previous diagram showed this same relationship between the hallway and the cowled exterior "stage" overhang. It did not include the foyer and the form of the whole rocky crest. These diagrams show that although the space between the hallway and the "stage" is only enough for a small theater , there could be more space allocated below the hallway and foyer.

...the base of the Balcony...The angle of the stairs in the Balcony.... Does the Balcony interior resemble anything outside the cavern?
I don't know what this Balcony you're referring to may be! The only balcony I mentioned in the diagrams is the upper exterior lip I showed in a previous snapshot. It is not interior, and it does not have any stairs, doors, or other means of access, which is why I put the "balcony" reference in quotation marks...I feel it's really not a balcony at this point, though it may once have been intended as such.
When discussing the features of previously-unnamed things like this, it helps to keep a clear nomenclature. Drawings - even a simple pencil sketch, labelled and scanned-in - can help others understand what you're referring to.

Something I read somewhere gave me the impression that the doors hidden in the hallway are set across the hallway rather than on the back wall. Can anyone confirm their location? I note that the hallway floor slants to either side of the central door from the Foyer and if f the hallway follows the slant of the back wall of the foyer then the doors could be lower than the foyer floor depending on how far along they are.
What doors are hidden in the hallway? I have not heard about them, how were these discovered?
I can tell you the inner hallway does have a slight gentle slope downward, either side of the three doors from the foyer. But the slope is not as drastic as that of the ceiling line in the foyer, the floor of the hallway does not follow that ceiling line. Most of what appears to be a radical slope when viewing the hallway from outside in the foyer is due to the extreme shadows in the hallway.
