Yes, 7 hexes, plus surrounding space (another 12-ish hexes), multiplied by at least 50-500 planets for each of the 4-1/2 major factions, plus additional planets for the smaller ones.

I've been wishing for a BattleTech mod since HoI3, but with HoI4 it might just be possible. I'd play the hell out of it.

(looks at the idea... (interstelar mod.. for HOI IV?) ho BOY you are ambitious! 
I don't know anything about this universe, but going to ask THE question that should ( in my opinion) be your top concerns. Structure of armies.
going to assume, that in this universe, that every single strategic unit is composed of mechs, is there No support units? is there even infantry? not even the USA could have gone full mechanize army (with the same IRL size).
how are Ground Forces structured? are there Divisions? Brigades? Some other equivalent name? does the concept of Armies HQ even belong here?
interested in this mod, I hope to hear your answers.

Mechs, vehicles, infantry, conventional and aerospace fighters, warships, artillery, nukes, orbital defense systems, and everything else you can think of are in the rules. "Typical" play is anywhere from a handful of Mechs only to a full-blown combined-arms battle.

He answered it in his first post, there are going to be support units.
btw I suspect the upgrade/variant system will work very well for mechs rather than putting variations of them in the tech tree
