A 200m blade length (400m diameter) is quite a leap from what I think currently are the largest wind turbines:

Yes, they are still in design concept stage I believe and quite sometime from reality.

The SUMR (Segmented Ultralight Morphing Rotors) project at US Department of Energy (ARPAE) aims to design extreme-scale blades that are 200 meters long. Such blades can power 50-megawatt wind turbines and will be taller than the Eiffel Tower.
