You still seem to be thinking of gravity as something that has a "size" for some region of space, and I have no real idea what you mean by that concept.

The curvature of spacetime is potentially unique at every spacetime point. it is determined by the distribution of mass and energy. Generally speaking, the greater the curvature of spacetime at a given point, the more an object's spatial path will deviate from a "straight line" in space alone, and the stronger gravity at that point will appear to be. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you're asking.
