I'm just curious, as space offers the huge length scales that could substantially lengthen the attractive interaction between positive and negative charges (although charges will still be repelled from other like charges)

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you asking if there are regions in space that are filled with all positively or negatively charged particles?

I know that there are radiation belts that consist primarily of a single ionic charge, but these belts are all sparsely populated. What I'm curious about is - what are the biggest agglomerations that are known to exist?

Sorry, I've got no idea.
