the SLN 11th Fleet was the second largest battle, they only had slightly under 450 superdreadnought sized ships per side there. LAC numbers on the part of the Grand Alliance don't have the tonnage to displace First BoMa from the largest battle.

First Manticore involved 180(MA) wallers vs 336(RHN). Second Manticore involved 440(GA) vs 427(SLN).

There haven't been any larger battles. Third place goes to Third Yeltsin(~96 vs ~88). The SLN's largest battle prior to Spindle and 2nd Manticore, only involved 12 wallers(although they were accompanied by a screen of over 150 ships and fought a force of ~450 smaller ships).
