The size is indeed expressed in kilobytes based on the disk usage of the server-side repository. However, in order to avoid wasting too much space with repositories with a large network, GitHub relies on Git Alternates.
In this configuration, calculating the disk usage against the repository doesn't account for the shared object store and thus returns an "incomplete" value through the API call.
