I knew a Swedish rider (Olaf Stroh, nice guy) who drilled a 38 t TA outer chainring to bolt to the penultimate cog of a Shimano cassette, then made an extended mounting arm for his rd so that this could accomodate the new cog. Lessee: 24/38X27" = 17 whole gear inches. I hear that at least one, old SunTour rd could actually accomodate a 38 t big cog.
Then there is the Mountain Tamer Quad -- http://abundantadventures.com/quads.html -- still available from the same guy I visited at the same place back in 1990, in deep, SE Albuquerque. Make a 16 t cog into your granny ring! (16/38X27" = 11".) Me, the only time I use the 24 is when I am bullying my way through deep sand -- and even then I tend to fall over after about 15 feet.
