PVC French doors - maximum widths?

Builder wants minimum 200mm piers either side for the lintel. So that leaves us with 2.2m to play with. Any idea what the max width is for a French door in PVC? Typically what width…

Any idea what the max width is for a French door in PVC? Typically what width would the whole unit be including the frame?
We want to make the most of this space and have as much glass in the door as possible. Can't afford bifolds and don't want sliders.
Cheers

few "made to measure" sellers of these on ebay in uk allow you to put in the size of the set i.e. a drop down box with sizes from x to y
Max ive seen is 1900mm (you could go for fixed side panels aswell)
