No there’s not -JWST is largest mirror in orbit and it is a few meters smaller, despite being many smaller mirrors. The mirror size is largely due to a tunnel size on the way to the summit in Chile, and applies to the other nearby telescopes.
It’s also really hard to ship mirrors much larger than this on a boat.
