Wouldn't it make more sense to have half the signalling links on one box, and
half on the other? Otherwise whenever you need to do maintenance on the single
box with the signalling links you will loose all of your 30*16 lines. You
could instead set up 2 clustered chan_ss7 boxes each with 8 E1 and 2 or 3
signalling links, and then when one box is down the other can take over.

But maybe I misundestood what you are trying to achieve, as I am not familiar
with MGCP...
