The problem is that the price would be beyond reach
Here's 36x56mm Mamiya back for only... $26,000

Of course, if you're willing to settle for 36x48mm it's only $15,000.

The real problem is that defects in chips (and therefore the scrap rate)
increase significantly with increasing area. One big chip costs
dramatically more than ten smaller ones that are each only 10% the size
of the large one and thus occupy the same total area.
