Not being able to center a big map is really dumb

I’m playing on a realm where we all live on this big central island (picture is using a client side minimap mod) (yes I got this seed off the internet lol) and I LOVE using the in game maps. I had a dream of making one of those huge single maps and filling it all out to pass out to my friends, but I just found out that the area of the big map is preset, so I can’t have one map with the whole island. When I try it places half the island on top and cuts off the rest. I understand the basis, that being that they want maps to not overlap and so they are set by chunks, and for the smaller maps I get that, but why not have an option to “center” a map if you wanted to? Have it locked to chunks by default but if you shift click the map onto something like a cartography table it would center it. Even if they had to follow chunk borders for some technical reason, why not only make it work for the bigger maps, it would just shift the center. This seems like such a simple change and it’s extremely aggravating that the only “solution” is to restart and build your house in the preset middle. What a joke. Very disappointing.
