SnF, page 62 has reprinted the increasing damage die rules from the MM.

And the upcomig SSp has the full rules.

But if you combine the SnF rules with the PHBs rules for unusual armor you are nearly there.

That table was really confusing. Am I right in thinking that a large Merc. Greatsword would have 3d8 damage and a reach of 10 feet?

and that a huge Merc. Greatsword would do 4d8 with a reach of 15 feet?

No. A large Greatsword is the standard, a greatsword fitting a large sized character is a huge greatsword.

Weapons do not affect reach unless they are reach weapons.

EDIT: The progression for Mercurial Greatsword are:

Small 1d6
Medium 1d8
Large 2d6 (Standard)
Huge 2d8
Gargantuan 4d6
Colossal 4d8

Assuming the damage is 2d8 to begin with. The mercurial weapons has been errated but OTOMH I cannot remember to what.

EDIT #2: Checked the errata, and the mercurial greatsword was errated to 2d6 damage, I have edited the tables above.

 

[Tidus4444]

OK, fair point. But is that the damage a Huge Merc. Greatsword would do?

EDIT: The Merc. Greatsword got errated? When? so it only does 2d6?

You're probably asking for the section on "Weapon Size and Damage" on DMG p. 162.

The Merc. Greatsword got errated? When? so it only does 2d6?

Sword & Fist Errata:

p. 70, Weapons Table: Mercurial greatsword—Change damage from 2d8 to 2d6.
