The NZ is the length of the football. Only the snapper can be in the NZ. There is the defensive LS that is the line parallel to the GLs at the tip of the ball closest to their GL, and similar for the OLS. If the D lines up in the NZ or lines up outside of the DLS and then is in the NZ at the snap, flag.

I believe that there is some leeway for offensive players that line up in the NZ - since it is usually their helmet or outstretched fist that is in the NZ.
