There is not nearly as much room as you seem to think.

All of the moving parts take up space, there are tracks and slides, bearings, hydraulic cylinders are not exactly compact, you need hydraulics with enough force to rip chunks out of solid material and that'll take up a fair bit of space, jaws, a chamber to compress the projectile, mechanism to embed the dust crystal for an explosive charge...

Then you have to factor in leaving room between all the parts so they don't interfere with eachothers operation, AND the mechanisms to split the segctions and strap onto his arms and legs.
