When outdoors, we are in contact with earth's atmosphere. However, mixing still has some limitations. We assume that outdoors, air up to a height of about five meters can get mixed with air exhaled by people. Thus, for outdoors calculations, we assume a virtual room of height five meters and area as specified by you to understand infection risks, as we do for indoors.
