If we're talking about space constraints, then it shouldn't be a problem to lump the ISS, russian derelict, bee ship and Hemera and whatnot all into the same z level as the diner and old mining. Or vice versa, really. From what I recall from the times I got lost in the faint signal z level, there's plenty of open space between the different areas.
So toss all the different places into one z level, spread them out a bit(or not, depending on how the random generation of asteroids would work, iunno), and fill the empty gaps with delicious, ore-laden asteroids and angry, murderous drones. Then hey-blammo, you gots yourself a whole-nother z level to fill with even more telescience crap.
For the record I just pulled all of this out of my ass, it might not even work, who knows. I sure don't.
