Maybe a long lasting Hapsburg that centralizes it's rule without too much breaking off combined with a lasting Iberian Union. This allows them to muscle the other powers from colonies in the Americas excluding some North american Colonies. A more open to the entire Hapsburg rule for colonial migrants helps the population boom throughout their american colonies. They could also maybe do large scale settlement of south Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Also With the power of Iberia and most of the HRE they secure Italy from the French and continue to expand the dynasty in the HRE. They might also be able to crush the Ottomans without outside interference and set the Balkans up as a collection of kingdoms under Hapsburg monarchs.
This leaves a empire covering most of the Americas, Oceania, Iberia, Italy and most of Germany and the low Countries. Additional territory such as the Balkans, France and the rest of Europe would depend on wars and dynastic schemes.
