When combined with inches, we don’t pluralize foot.

Thanks a lot. And what does ‘and a half’ mean? Is it ‘and a half of an inch’?
Yes. Holden was 6’2-1/2″.

It’s not wrong in BrE, but foot is more common with inches, though we’re mostly metric nowadays, officially at least among older age groups.

In the US it’s common to use the plural: «I’m six feet two inches tall.»
It’s OK when you include «inches». I wouldn’t say I’m six feet two.
While reading a bit of commentary from north of the border, I came across a word, a big word unknown to me, sesquipedalian.
So I had to look it up, and Douglas Harper and his Online Etymology Dictionary don’t disappoint.
1610s, “person or thing a foot and a half long,” from Latin sesquipedalia “a foot-and-a-half long,” from sesqui- “half as much again” (see sesqui-) + stem of pes “foot” (from PIE root *ped- “foot”). As an adjective 1650s. Meaning “sesquipedalian word” (1830) is from Latin sesquipedalia verba “words a foot-and-a-half long,” in Horace’s “Ars Poetica” (97), nicely illustrating the thing he is criticizing.
Words that are a foot-and-a-half long? That certainly describes Conrad Black. But I do like him and his writing. His insights are a good perspective of whatever he’s commenting about.
Black’s trial and imprisonment is a case of the power of vindictive bureaucrats using the State to pursue their perverted senses of justice. Far too many people, from Martha Stewart to thousands of black men, have been wrongly caught up in the corrupt, highly profitable justice system.
There’s a lot of money in prisons. And we must demand reform! It’s time to reduce the prison population.

«each person crammed their body and belongings into a foot and a half of space. «
Context: A scholar, during the invasion of China by Japan, saved his country’s records and books. He and his colleagues saved as many books as they could and put them on boats and set sail on river. To save space for more books, each person had to squeeze in their belongings and themselves into a small space.
Question: Can «of» work here with «space»? I expected «in» as in «1.5m in length.» If the word being modified were a name of a tangible object, I may use «of» as in «1.5m of rope», but it’s an idea — space.

«Of» is correct — «in» would be incorrect.
«In space» is often used in the context of outer space. Astronauts are «in space» when they’re in a rocket heading for the moon.

a foot and a half of space = a space [consisting] of [only] a foot and a half
Obviously it doesn’t make a lot of sense if you take it literally, since a foot and a half (18 inches) is a length, which is one-dimensional, whereas a space is three-dimensional.

I’m taking it to mean a space that was a foot and a half square (i.e. an area). It’s a boat, so height doesn’t make much difference if there is no roof.
