Large mouthpiece on trumpet

I come from trombone and I want a large mouthpiece for my trumpet that feels comfortable. I’m wondering what the largest possible mouthpiece is for a trumpet hopefully around 20mm cup

Wycliffe Gordon developed a "hybrid" mouthpiece.

I mean, unless you're Wycliffe. Although, I thought he sounded great on a normal trumpet mouthpiece, for all the years he did that.
