In many instances, we know the ages of personalities in Tanach and when they got married. In some cases, we aren't given enough information within the text and in some of those instances, the Midrashim or later works provide the missing ages. Often, this can be very enlightening for understanding the interactions between characters in Tanach.
For example, there are various Midrashic and later sources which discuss the ages of Avraham and Sarah being either 25 and 15, or 50 and 40.
As another example, We know that Yitzchak was 40 at the time he married Rivka, and that she was either 14 (according to Tosafot on Yevamot 61b) or 3 (Rashi to Gen. 25:20).

I don’t know about the largest age difference, but I can tell you that the smallest age difference was Adam and Chavah, who were born only an hour or two apart.

Based on certain midrashim and assuming they're compatible, Naamah was Noach's wife and was born, at the latest, in 129. Noach was born in 1056. That makes her at least 927 years (+/- rounding errors) older than him.

You should probably quote the whole passage from B"R - this is only דעת יחיד - "אָמַר רַבִּי אַבָּא בַּר כַּהֲנָא", and "וְרַבָּנָן אָמְרֵי נַעֲמָה אַחֶרֶת הָיְתָה, וְלָמָּה הָיוּ קוֹרִין אוֹתָהּ נַעֲמָה, שֶׁהָיְתָה מַנְעֶמֶת בְּתֹף לַעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים."
