What parameters should be set (x spacing, y spacing, units) to get a 1 ha hexagon? I work in EPSG 32634 projection. QGIS plugin MMQGIS.

Answer
I found out (see next image) that these are relations among different distances in a regular hexagon used for MMQGIS plugin; where formula to calculate area as function of L is: A = 2.60*L2. So, if area is 1 ha (10000 m2) then L = 62.04032 m.
By geometric considerations, sin 60º = (y/2)/L and:
y = 2*L.sin 60º = 2*62.04032*0.866025403784 = 107.456986358 m
As x and y are joined, you only need to put, at correspondent place in plugin, only calculated y value (x value is automatically calculated).
After click in OK, I got:
By using my plugin to calculate areas, I corroborated that it was ~10000 m2 for one particular feature; as expected.
