Most 200A meter cans have a minimum wire size of #6. The Milbank K4977-EXT tap connector might do the trick to get you down to #12 if your utility will allow it: http://www.milbankworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/TapConnectors_6-13_Web.pdf . I think that it will work without a wire under the main lug.
We love the Milbank U5934XL <http://www.milbankworks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/SolarSockets_8-13_Web2.pdf>, which accepts down to #12. It is our standard for residential REC meter cans.
