Thanks for your answer Sven.
So, I've obviously misunderstood the part "mixing non-B.A.T.M.A.N. systems with batman-adv" [&] I admit: the fact that batman-adv operates al L2 really confuses me a lot! I'm a DIY nerd with no background training, so it's quite difficult to me.. But I won't give up! ;D
So, do you think that I should try to setup OSPF on every node, to keep the thing as-much-auto-scaling-as-possible?
But in that case I suspect I won't be able to use the "Gateway support" functions. Is it correct? [%]
Have a nice day, Luca

First thing: batman-adv doesn't route (as in l3 routing). batman-adv creates a distributed switch on l2 (so, batman-adv does path finding). Therefore, batman-adv doesn't care about the l3 stuff.
And the stuff you've mentioned above is l3 stuff. So out of scope for batman- adv. Either you create static routes, use proxy arp or use another software that distributes the l3 routes.
Kind regards, Sven
