If the creature can turn, strike, and be "present" in many directions at once you could justify a larger presence
Except that the usual rules for multihex critters include pushback and difficulty to engage, both of which make most sense in terms of bulk rather than in terms of reach.

You can model being "present" in many directions by altering the facing rules, as is done with snakes. Longer reach could be done with two-hex melee attacks, like most polearms. If you try to show ability to turn and strike with multihex figures, it's a very rough fit at best.
