i don't mind the extra work it takes to get the floor level by using
non self leveling stuff, but i'm not sure i've got the skill level to
trowel the room level. a straight edge is only going to measure
about 1 metre across at a time, but what if the room is 6 metres
across? how do i level the room without a 6 foot meter or does it not
matter?

Use a straight 8' - 2x4, overlapping sections.
