This could be an ugly solution, but have you thought about using Xvfb
(the X virtual frame buffer) to generate the images and then use some
other Mac program (one not limited by monitor size) to display the
images?

I have had good luck with Xvfb on my Mac, but I have not tried
to use it with windows larger than my monitor.

In a script :

...
source /usr/local/rsi/idl_6.3/bin/idl_setup #Set up IDL paths
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x1024x24 -ac -terminate & #Start X-windows server
setenv DISPLAY :1.0 #Set X-windows display

(echo GFS_MAKE_MAPS, MAKE_DATE$${YEAR}, ${MONTH}, ${DAY}, ${HOUR}$ ; \
echo exit) | \
idl >>& ~/Projects/wxmaps/gfs_make_maps.log

killall -9 Xvfb #Kill X-windows server
