Or just use a larger Wok. You can get them here up to about 36" in
diameter :-)

Another good suggestion. Large woks would be a solution, but
these have a rounded bottom and are difficult to use on
western stoves, although they should work OK on a gas turkey
frier.

While it won't have quite the cachet/brio of a welded disco
de arado, it appears the solution will be the purchase of
several large paella pans. According to the pan sellers
websites, a 26 inch pan will fit on most bbq grills or can
be used on a turkey frier [at low heat]. Looks like these
can also be used as flat grill or griddle.

The smaller 20-22 inch units will fit on most kitchen stoves
and will also fit in the oven for easy paella.

The copper paella pans, although beautiful (too nice to
use?), are a "spicy meatball" in the larger sizes, so it
looks like black or polished steel. I found several
suppliers which may be of interest to the people following
this semi metal related thread.
