Hello
The boy needs a bigger room and is considering closing off the vaulted ceiling to take advantage of "unused" space and finished areas like walls and ceiling.
If you're curious about making a floor with a span of 5.4m (including the area where the beam rests)
Does it work to use standard dimensions 45x220 5.4?
Can you lay cc60, or should you screw together 2 pieces of 45x220 to become 1 piece of 90x220?
Or lay, for example, 45x220 cc 30 or similar?
The idea is to lay chipboard above and then flooring.
Will the floor flex or will it be manageable?

Quickly checked the wood guide's dimensioning tool, the max span for 45x220 is 5.15 when it is cc30 and glued chipboard on.
So with some reinforcement, it should absolutely work in my opinion. But I don't have a good answer for what suitable reinforcement would be.
I would probably just glue and screw 2 together and have a double every other one.

We have made the joist system with 45x220 on cc30 as well as noggings and screw-glued grooved chipboard, it is solid and the span is approximately 5.10.

Thank you for the response 
When I take a closer look, I think the span will be 506 cm
The walls are 220 studs and if you subtract 220 x2 from 5.5m.
It doesn't sound impossible then
I found an old picture from the frame construction, and the idea is to place the studs in existing compartments that run around the extension.
Other parts of the loft have resting joists where

There is our
I think I will also lay double layers of particleboard to reach the same height as the other floors.
First, there is one layer of floor particleboard (20-22mm if I remember correctly) then another layer with cutouts for the underfloor heating pipe.
