Thanks. Have you got a reference or link or something where I can read more about this?

Perhaps you can try community network for visualization of those big network, in which a vertex represent a community.

These big networks are hard! My past experience is with networks of a couple
hundred nodes, at most

Well, I'm not convinced that there is any kind of sampling that will tell
you much about betweenness values in the original network.
(Unless you network structure is special and you can use this fact in the
sampling.) I would recommend doing some simulations first, with
(say) snowball sampling.
