You cannot automatically space the original Core map out, however you could zoom in and out, as well as pan around the Hypermap. They would also be more spaced out of you used deeper host groups, as it looks like they are one tier host groups they will be bunched.
There are no tools for the network status map. Have you looked at the hypermap? That component has the features that Sam mentioned.
