Some please correct me if I'm wrong, but did it get mentioned in Marathon some where that a Planet Sized Computer was needed for Durandal to escape the collapsing of the Universe?

I am...whimsical today.

I'm in no way the last word on the Marathon story, but the closest thing I can think of is that Leela managed to infect several planet sized networks when she went rampant. I don't remember anything about a planet sized computer being required to escape the closure of the Universe.
Rampant AI seem to have a desire to grow and expand their processing substrate. Perhaps it's something to do with that?

I'm just wondering because of the H:3 Legendary ending. There appears to be a planet with a MASSIVE marathon symbol, was thinking it might have to do with the planet size computers from Marathon. Maybe Cortana meets Leela, and then Durandal thus uniting 2 of the 3 sword metaphors for the Sword of Roland.
