FOH there's no way a graboid is bigger than a sarlacc.
Edit:
OK with some web searchin', I got some rough guesses as to the size of each one (spoilers: OP's chart is so far off it's probably a troll):
It should be noted that while the sarlacc's diameter seems to put it in punching range of the shai hulud, two things really set the Dune sandworms apart:
Put these together and you can be pretty sure that a sarlacc to a dune sandworm is like a puppy.
EDIT 2:
I am pleasantly surprised to learn that some species of rhino have many thousands of individuals. I believe they would, in fact, outweigh a single Shai-Hulud.
Thank you for your service
