How unpleasant is the smell of rabbit urine?

It's not too bad if you keep the litter box clean. A rabbit sitting in dirty bedding in a cage is likely going to smell bad all around.
If you keep it in a large playpen (which is better than a cage for many reasons), it can stay out of dirty litter and can be properly litter trained. Pine horse stall pellets are known to be a smell free option. There are also other options but cat litter shouldn't be used since it contains clay, which can be toxic if ingested.

I am planning on using a dog play pen that is 2ft x 8ft. Is this size sufficient enough for one rabbit?
 
Thanks. Also, can an unneutered/non spayed rabbit be trained to use a litter box or should they be spayed/neutered first?
Yes, rabbits who are not fixed can be trained, though if you get a younger rabbit then house training may become difficult at around 6 months when they reach sexual maturity.
For this reason, among others, I would recommend adopting an already fixed rabbit from a rescue. Adoption fees are often much less than spay/neuter costs, plus you'll be saving a life if you decide to adopt.
If you're in the US, you can find a reputable rabbit rescue in your state through the house rabbit society here:
