 if you had a velcro rig that had flaps to fit a 250 canopy and a larger one to fit a 300 canopy. could you not buy or have made an even larger size one to fit say a 310 to 325 0r so canopy?

Possibly, but as you start pushing id imagine it its going to get wider than the pack tray and probably start to get funky at the top/bottom flaps.

I have done it to several rigs in the past. It works as long as you only try to compensate a one size margin (lets say from a 245 built to a 265 volume).
Therefore we took the same lengh of the shrivel but widened it for 1,5 or 2 inches.

Much more important is that your spare shrivel matches towards the velco on the intended rig. Not every type of velcro is reasonable compatible here.

Could the same desired result be reached by having a 2 pin conversion done, and when they convert it, they extened the side flaps?

... better you ask this question to a manufacturer but I think it's not worth the try and to much improvised effort and work compared towards the prize of a used or even new 2-pin rig out there on the market.
