Default "Real" ringworlds

Don't you think the ringworlds are a tad small?

I mean these things are, in theory, massive. A classic Version would have a radius close to that of a planet, so it should be a few squares across at least.

Also, they are more than 5 times a huge planet in total size. Ringworlds should be at least 5 times that in suface width! If you have it around the entire system (excuding the edges to allow for wormholes) then you can get 29 planets (excuding duplicates in same location)

Ive had a brief try to mod it to get a better Version. Generated systems that have a set of huge planets in a ring shape. However, can't get them to be built in game, only in a pregenerated sense. Ive tried using other stellar manipulation components that change the entire system (Black hole generator, havnt had a go at nebulae). In fact i replaced the black hole systems with a "new ringworld" system. But the black hole generator component still genenated a black hole! Even though i deleted the specs. Any ideas?
