In standard QM, position is continuous. Lengths seem hard to discretize without violating Lorentz invariance. People are trying but, AFAIK, they're not getting anywhere. The Plank velocity is the speed of light.

I can't tell whether Mitchell is advocating a finite or infinite number of worlds.

I am advocating that the set of worlds must have a definite cardinality. It can be finite; it can be infinite; but it can't be "undefined".
