IMHO, there's a better approach than numbering (or labeling) each hex on a map. Just label all of the outer hexes. Here's a bad example (but it does illustrate the concept):

If you want to label each megahex, then just label the center hex of the megahex and adopt a convention like "the north hex is 1 and the numbering continues clockwise until you get to 6" so that on this map:

'AX' is replaced by 'A'. 'AA' thru 'AF' aren't labeled but it is understood (according to convention) that 'AA' is 'A1'. 'AF' is 'A6'.
