So what would be the real frontage for a company with support? I think players should go at least a little bigger than reality to avoid the issue of unrealistic flank protection given by the map edge.

See my previous post, and recall that a battalion is typically 3 companies, plus maybe an attached "foreign" one and some supports.

So - halve what I said, as it would be typically 2 companies "up" and the third held in reserve (as discussed in the game play notes section of the Game Guide). So 500-750 metres. (10-15 hexes), call it 20 to make the human player have to spread out a bit.
