You could maybe take a look at ex-military sleeping bags (some are unused). Some are quite large as they are designed for military personel to use them with all their kit on..Lots of them on Ebay.
Snugpak also do some sleeping bags with an extra panel with zip to increase the width, they also do military sleeping bags..
There are a lot of big lads in the forces so think you should be able to get something.

An army 90 pattern bag size L would do you but it isn't small or lightweight. I have one but only for car camping. It takes up most of a 65 litre pack.

Try looking at anglers sleeping bags. Most sleeping bags designed for night time carp anglers have to be lightweight and pack down small so they can easily be carried across fields on foot. Most are very warm (3-4 season) and not too expensive.
A few at Fishtec (link won't work but type Fishtec into address bar)

My wife uses a cyprinus frostline carp fishing bag. It is very roomy and suitable to about -5.
It also compresses quite small.
She hates restrictive sleeping bags and is a cold sleeper. That bag swamps her.

Trouble is that it is hard to find an xl bag that compresses down to a decent size and is lightweight unless you go for down filling. Then you are talking silly money.
My lightweight bag is a cheapy snugpak which goes down small. With a fleece liner it handles a UK winter but even I find it restrictive at the shoulders and I'm not broad..
