Why would it have to be massive? In space, radio dishes can be unfolded mylar.

The point is it would be massive relative to the probes, and it would also have to be moving faster than them to be useful anytime soon. And if you could launch something that massive going that fast, why bother making it a repeater. Just launch a new probe with a bigger antenna.
