I find the easiest way to make copies larger than a scanner can handle
is to use a camera.
Just mount it on the wall with reasonable amount of light and make sure
you are square to the wall.
Then using a lower ISO like 50 or 100, make several exposures and just
pick the best one.
If you have the images scanned in you can download a panorama stiching
program to put them together.
