Saying that digital recordings require more space than analog is just plain wrong. The two are totally different. Comparing the two is like comparing a really nice cheese omlette and a Shelby Cobra GT350. I see no reason why you cannot compare the bandwidth and/or space requirements of

Depending on the methode used to store a square wave, you'll need less or more bits. It also depends on the sampling frequentie and the base-frequency of the squarewave. If we are talking about uncompressed audio in a standard format (such as CD) this just does not apply. You can get as
