But why only 40? Given the dimensions, 56 can probably also be placed. The Soyuz has much less space under the fairing, and the Fregat reduces it even more, but it placed a block of the same height, albeit a truncated one. Perhaps this is what Oneweb was able to give.

With the last SpaceX launch occurring on Nov. 26, is this the longest gap (12 days) between launches in 2022?

No, a quick glance at the completed 2022 missions https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=43418.0

Some at the beginning of the year where longer

For instance:
Starlink 4-6 to CSG-2 13 days
Starlink 4-7 to Starlink 4-8 18 days

Remember, SpaceX has successfully been launching at a speed and price that no other provider has achieved in history. They really are pushing the limits on Better, Faster, Cheaper. Even with the extra time for the next set of launches. 
If you're happy and you know it,
It's your med's!

Starlink G 4-08 - almost 18 days. Overall - 5 launches this year had over 12 days gap.
