Do what darkroom workers have been doing for decades - file out your film
carriers.
Or are you saying the scanner won't even read out that far? If that's the
case get a used Leafscan 4x5 and use filed out Beseler film holders, or any
scanner that can scan a format larger than your film with a glass carrier.
You may need to make a carrier that will serve you.
