Hello L. Cooper and Rick,
I think not – actually, it’s a rather silly idea, Rick.
Please note I wrote, '...a clue (for want of a better term)...’
Now think of it more as: it’s as if the architect was providing a clue as to the whereabouts of the actual burial chamber – but wasn’t.
My almost-but-not-quite complete theory on how the Great Pyramid of Giza was designed* explains the actual role of the sarcophagus.
Unfortunately, the explanation is (currently) 110 pages long (the full work is currently running at 386 pages).
All I can say presently is: The design and dimensions of the sarcophagus were derived from the design and dimensions of the King’s Chamber only using simple arithmetic (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction) and very basic rectilinear geometry.

*I have been working on and off for thirty seven years on my theory about the designing of the Great Pyramid of Giza (I started it in January 1979).
Broadly, I theorise that:
1) The design and dimensions of the entire Pyramid were created only using very basic rectilinear geometry and simple arithmetic (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction).
2) The only units of measurement used were the royal cubit (and its divisions down to 1/448th) and the seked 5½.
3) There is no scientific data encoded in any of the Pyramid’s dimensions.
We can't all be right, but we could all be wrong ...
