Except as I recall from the description, it wasn't. Just as it isn't with most armors of any nature.

How would you rate an Age of Mail knight that had an homogenous armor of mail in all locations? None of it is any lighter than the others and there basicly aren't any areas that are unarmored. Would this end up like the Melnibonean armors with a huge plus?

No, it'd end up with a modest plus, because even if the _material_ is homogonous, the protection in practice, isn't. I'd expect it to be something like 1d4+ 2 to 3.
