The stretching part is dead simple. The hard part of superheavy is that it has a ton of engines complicating the plumbing and thrust structure.
Still, spacex has been signaling that they want to get this (orbital starship) done this year. With the moon contacts depending on convincing progress I think it's plausible that they will push hard enough to make it - if things go well (stop exploding sooner rather than later) at least.
