As you'll see in the demo, it's currently pretty laggy. I'm not sure if that's from breaking so many blocks at once, from the bad list/set pattern implementations in the mod, or a combination of the two. Regardless, at least for now, I wouldn't recommend setting the block limit much higher than 64.
Trivia: this hex uses a weird pregenerated unrolling technique that I haven't seen used very often. This allowed me to bring the number of patterns a bit lower and keep the stack relatively short (this hex gets very close to the iota limit, so we need every bit of space we can get). It also saves on recursion somewhat, though that's not really necessary with the block limit at 64.

To write this hex, first draw the patterns. Note the comments with recommended places to split across screens. Then, create an offset list using Kirin's Ruler on each block in a 3x3 cube except the center (as below). Finally, use Locator's Scalpel (or Surgeon's Exaltation, if you prefer) to insert that list at the marked placeholder (Bookkeeper's Gambit: --, ie. a straight line with two segments).
If using Locator's Scalpel, make sure you put the list in another list (eg. using Single's Purification) or you'll flatten all the iotas into the hex instead of inserting the whole list iota.
