i have seen that question asked alot and it seems that no one makes one. some suggestions are to use wood to make a bigger platform. i use a piece of 1x inside my bag to give it shape.

I use my regular rack for the bag on trips. As long as your bag has a "hard" bottom you will be fine. I could not imagine not having the rack as it makes putting the bag on much better IMO.

I posted the same question a couple of weeks ago I seen a extension some where online but at the time wasn't looking and as usual when you want it no where to be found I ended cutting a piece of 1/2 inch plywood and drilling some holes and use them big zip ties works great no more of the bag hanging over.
