I suppose other ships' numbers are roughly proportionate. But the same part of the lore (I think it was the readme of 4.86, not sure) I've read said that Bretonia was, at the point, the richest House of all by treasury, while we all know that Liberty was always the strongest economic power (but Bretonia didn't spend so much on its military or who knows what, I suppose).
We did not have that many battleships. As it is, everything is ballpark numbers but I can tell you that 500 is way too many.
Also, Gallia is not a "super house". I don't know where you got that idea. It's been dealing with war for quite a while between the First Gallic War and now the Second Gallic War, which started before Gallia even had connections to Sirius. Yeah, it has a larger navy but people make it sound like they built them from scratch to invade. In of itself, Gallia is kinda poor on resources. It doesn't mean it's completely dry, but it's not as rich as Sirius. If it wants to continue to grow as a space-borne nation it needs more resources, which was the entire reason for the war.
Also, yes. Gallia will lose if it continues to steamroll. But you also kinda forget that they are only at war with two houses, not everyone. Gallia got what it wanted with the Taus and Leeds, the war is about securing their conquered territory at this point.
edit: Also infocards are poorly written and prone to be full of errors, I wouldn't take most of the numbers as completely accurate.
