You can simulate bigger maps by shrinking all of your units, doodads, and destructibles. For example, make everything half size and your 480 x 480 map effectively becomes 960 x 960. However, creating such a ridiculously big map has some drawbacks:

(a) It involves a Herculanean effort;
(b) You will probably end up zooming the in-game camera to counter all of the object shrinkage, but that can make the tileset textures look pretty bad (although you can get around this by using custom tilesets); and
(c) Your final product will probably suffer from serious performance issues to the point of being unplayable (although there are ways of getting around some of these).

you can
and seriously now, the normal WE editor maxes are pretty low,meaning that you can't make a good huge rpg within its borders

ive spent the past year on a 480x480 map to make sure its perfect and im roughly 1/5 done (from 100% finshed) (well been working in frc for the past three months)
