My understanding is that wormholes are spherical and a transiting spacecraft must not exceed the wormhole's dimensions in any direction, hence the popularity of "grapeships". The Diademata would have to compress itself into a 30-metre sphere, which wouldn't leave much of its passengers. Maybe it could fragment into tiny pieces similar to the components of a grapeship?
