Not really. There are some recommendations in the case I linked to, and I believe that there are some relay examples available on thisisant.com as well that may be useful, but that's the best we have to offer. As is also said in the other question, making a mesh network protocol isn't trivial.

ANT uses the 1 Mbit mode, and with this, you shouldn't normally expect 100 m range, even in +4 dBm mode. We usually say 10-30 m range on 1 Mbit, but it may vary based on exact design used and environment. Under good conditions, you could possibly get up to 100 m, but that is most definitely not common.

ANT doesn't have any built-in routing, so this is something you'll have to do in your application if needed. You may have use in looking at this question, and possibly others concerning meshing here.
