You're using ratios, which works.
5:5280
3000:3168000
Using trig, a span of 5' at a distance of 5280' subtends an arc of 0.05426° or 3.25 arcminutes. That's probably not small enough to make the span appear to "merge," but let's just say it is for the sake of illustration.
For a span of 3000 miles to subtend an angle of 0.054°, it would have to be:
3000/tan(0.5426°) ~3,168,000 miles way.
Watch what happens. For 3000 to subtend the stated angle, it must be this far in the distance, per perspective:
1° -> 171,870 miles away
0.5° -> 343,766 miles away
0.25° -> 687,545 miles away
0.125° -> 1,375,100 miles away
0.063° -> 2,728,371 miles away
Every halving of the angular span requires a doubling of the distance. That's why a sun even just 10 miles above a flat earth runs out of real estate before it can drop to 1/60th of a degree elevation.
I mentioned that
previously, here and on the Unlit Clouds topic. For a sun to appear to set (or rise) on a flat earth, you've got to have some upward bending of the sun's light. Perspective doesn't cut it.
