http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/bcdw/images_e.htm  has floppy images up 
to 700MB , no idea how they're made, guess someone had fun with some 
Linux tools.

WinImage (I bought it, no idea if pro-version only feature) seems to 
have a custom filesize option (FILE/NEW/IMPORTED/ SELECT CUSTOM IMAGE 
FORMAT). Don't ask me how to use it though.
Memdisk might require you to specify cilinders, heads and sectors when 
loading from Syslinux.

There might also exist some ancient DOS diskette formatting 
tools/programs to create 2.88MB floppy images with supersize.
