--Would you like some more orange, sir?
--No, thanks. I have had much.
The sentence 'I have had much.' sounds a bit odd to me. It's very odd! Do you native speakers use it in such situations? not that I've heard
Any other expressions you can suggest? I've had a lot. I've had enough. I've already had too much.
Thank you in advance.

Assuming we're talking about the fruit, I would question the use of the singular "orange" here. To me it sounds odd: I would say either "Would you like some more oranges?" or "Would you like another orange?"

Reason: typo: omission of "of"

I find no problem with "Would you like some more orange?" - it indicates that the orange [or possibly more than one orange] is broken into its sections.
