That is not the intent. It is possible of course but when you get to large channel counts why would you want to struggle with blocks of 512 channels. It is costly and cumbersome at that point. It like trying to use a bike to deliver big screen TV's.
You would not do this would you? You move to a Truck to do that. Something designed to carry more channels. Thats what pixelnet is, it is the transport between my hardware that is not limited to small blocks of channels.
I mean as you said yourself why would someone wany to run that many channels of DMX equipment. The only thing I can think of is to try and run large counts of pixels on DMX. This seems again like using a bike to deliever big screen TV's. The logic would be what? "cause I know how to ride a bike"
So yes I could increase the part count while increasing the size and cost to get 8 universe of DMX out of it, but think of this. I would increase size and cost to get half as many channels then it does now and make it harder to handle them in the yard.
I mean remember the etherdongle cost only a little more than a DMX dongle does so you are getting a lot of bang for the buck.
The reason Pixelnet is the way it is, was to get away from this.
You can go with Ethernet all the way to the controller also but I already explained the reason I did not here :
