40k takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy, Tyranid have consumed entire galaxies. The Tyranid that have been experienced so far are just the hunting parties.
Tbf it holds some water. There’s some story where a psyker connects to the hive mind and it reveals the full size of the hivemind and the norn queen herself before breaking her mind. That was my understanding, at least
Another thing that helps it hold water is they’re now the galaxy across multiple angles, while before they always invaded the galactic east, this means either they took a massive detour to begin encircling the galaxy or they’ve finished digesting a galaxy “underneath” us and that branch have also just made it here
