If you are going to adhere to that statement being canon, you also have to adhere to the statements about it's size and actions.
Come on man, you can't pick one, skip the next, grab another, then ignore those over there, etc. 😉Psssst... Don't tell anybody, but... it's able to change it's size and shape at will. Yeah. 😱

It has never said or been show anywhere that it is only capable of those smaller sizes. The opposite is always stated, that it encircles the globe. As it constricts, it becomes more solid in the earth plane. It can BE whatever it wants to be.
You would have to show something on-panel that makes a statement which falsifies it given profile and years of in-story narration and character communication.
There is also nothing that SHOWS just how much weight the machine was exerting upon Supes. I didn't see any planet-sized pile of weights on top. The machine also looked too small to me. It didn't look very sturdy. If it was exerting that weight downward, did it ruin the soles of his boots?! 🙄 Did you check them?
You would have a very good point Horrificus my friend, IF (and notice I said IF) that NORMAL SIZED OX wasn't big enough to fill the mouth of the Serpent WHILE it was shown coiling the Earth while in the Void. That one scene puts to rest the myth that the Serpent was really planetary in size. We saw on panel how big that ox was that Thor used to bait the Serpent on his hook.

Again, this is just Thor's opinion on what that crushing weight was like. How would he know how many tons "scores of planets" weigh? That's like me saying "Man, my book bag weighs a ton!" It's called hyperbole. Also he didn't lift the weight, even assuming it was as heavy as a "score of planets", he blasted his way out from underneath it.
