Well, if they were made up of Open Spaces, and were most of (15+ systems) the station, that would make the station SM+15. That's probably not the best way of looking at it though.

How many people can it support and at what level of comfort and with what amenities would be better, but requires much more detail.

Taking the physical size and working out the SM from that is another, though habitats tend to be fairly low density so that'll give a useful number for working out how hard the station is to see and shoot, it won't be so useful for working out how massy the other systems need to be.
