Can I say "so dark a room"?
I read a sentence - Don't have your children sitting for hours reading books in so dark a room. Is "so dark a room" a correct expression? Similar, can I say "I am so nervous to speak to so large a crowd"? Thanks.

Yes it is correct expression, though it is not used too often. Another way of saying it would be: Don't have your children sitting for hours reading books in such a dark room.
And yes, you could also use it in the way you've suggested.
