To be honest the main battle of Reach is only what seems to be maybe half a day...if not only a few hours. John, Linda, and James go into orbit(or stay since they were already aboard the Pillar of Autumn) to destroy nav data. While this is going on Fred is leading the ground ops in protecting the Orbital MAC Generators from being destroyed by the Covenant. Fred, Kelly, and Joshua take a nuke, capture banshees, and fly past the Covenant carrier and toss the nuke into the grave lift and blow up the ship and all the covenant around it. Joshua dies.
While this is happening the spartans protecting the MAC generators are overun and slaughtered, also hit by plasma bombardment(i think). Then the spartans go into ONI castle base and hide. Then the Chief comes meets up with Whitcomb and two other spartans then they go into castle base and then the COvenant attack them and start digging for them. There are a few days of no combat while they are down there so that would be hard to make into a game.
Now that I think about it if Bungie can somehow get past the whole 4 day no combat thing then they could fit in Operation First Strike(the actual combat operation not the whole book) and then head back to Earth. That would make an amazing game but again they would have to have cutscenes and then say "4 days later", which I don't see Bungie doing but who knows.
Edit: Take note that Sierra 259 and 320 are not known spartans. If they are spartan and not Pelican numbers then they die. These two 'spartans' never even make it to castle base, meaning the die during the initial battle and protection of the MAC generators. This characters wouldn't fit into the above theory of what the game would be like. They aren't class two spartans either.
