Computer room module.

I was just thinking, that big ships have a lot of wasted space.

Most of the computer modules are size 1, yet the slots are very big, that is very limiting for ships that should be able to fit all of it due to their size.

My suggestion would be to include a computer room module that can fit several computer modules inside.

For example: lets say a size 3 computer room lets you put 2 computers, like an advanced scanner and a surface detail scanner. A size 5 would let you fit 4 computers, for example the two scanners, plus a docking computer and an interdictor.

Yes, this is a thing about I also often thought in past.
Imo it would be absolutely reasonable to add a module with this or a likewise behaviour.

There have been a number of suggestions regarding specific computer modules - for example "Computer Module with loadable Programs".

However making players make decisions is fundamental to gameplay (beyond "Snakes & Ladders") - so not being able to do everything with one ship configuration is part of the game, and is why general "compartment splitters" won't get traction.
