Thanks to the good work of @jyoung, there is now a new extension available at VASL.info/extensions: BoardZoomer.vmdx.
This extension will allow you to zoom in-and-out on the map while leaving counter sizes unchanged. Great for counter-dense scenarios.
Once you download and add the extension to your extensions directory, look for this button on the toolbar:
Clicking it will give you a dropdown that will allow you to shrink or enlarge the map:

To spread units out in the hex as shown in N7, you must select the Snap 2 option from the dropdown.
The extension works in conjunction with the existing zoom tools on the toolbar (beside the LOS button) which will zoom both map and counters. It removes the need to select the "Use Deluxe-sized Hexes" option from boardpicker when setting up a game.
NOTE: You MUST have VASL-6.6.8 or greater to use the extension. Having it loaded with an earlier VASL version will do no harm; it simply won't work.
EDIT: Both players must use the extension, particularly if using the Snap 2 option
