Would you need a single mirror? Many smaller mirrors sounds more plausible.

The number of mirrors isn't the problem. No matter how many pieces you slice it into, you have to achieve that quantity of surface area somehow.

You'd still need to lift them to L1 and equip them with propellants to counter the solar wind.
