Would your large corporation consider allowing employees to telecommute
until they can make more desks available?

These are unacceptable working conditions. Are they asking the developers to
work under these conditions too? Not that it really matters.
If your company is even suggesting this, then they're so far from being
reasonable that it may not be worth even negotiating with them. Polish up
that resume and find something else as soon as you can. Best of luck!
