a factor of four seems like a large disparity between this data and the
audience panel numbers.
Wouldn't our numbers reflect all unique devices access Hungarian wikipedia
from across the globe and not just Hungary? I just ran some queries internally(where we have >country breakdowns) and found that ~1.38 million unique devices accessing hu.wikipedia in the month of March '16 come from outside Hungary. Correct, the traffic (in terms of devices) is spread across the globe. A pretty sizable portion of traffic (in terms of devices) for Spanish Wikipedia comes from Brazil, Italy, France and Canada for example.

Like Nuria said: this is unique devices, not unique people. Many people in the Global North use more than one device to access Wikipedia (desktop, tablet, phone).
Sure, and browses which rejects or periodically delete cookies will be counted multiple times, and a device might use multiple browsers (especially the embedded browsers on mobile devices)... even taking all that into account, a factor of four seems like a large disparity between this data and the audience panel numbers.
