Well, AFAIK this has been done with that (rather illegal) OTTD undertaking.

However, simply enlarging the map size is just half the meal, because you need
numerous additional enhancements then, from new cargo prices (or a different
timing model) to a bigger number of industries ...

I donΒ΄t see any reason why not having a separate station for mail (e.g., you
could set the number of cities to "small" giving more room to built). Or you
could have dedicated patforms for mail and direct your trains with the help of
waypoint stations.
