I got this mat a couple of years ago for Christmas. Mine is only in two pieces and I don't think it was as wide. I love that it covers the top of my cutting table but hated the metal clamps to hold it together so I just taped them together with packing tape. Works like a charm.

I also put 2 olfa mats together...used duct tape on the back. They work ok, but there is usually one tread that doesnt cut through on the seam. As long as I know it is there I compensate by gently pulling a tiny bit back and it works fine.

The joining clips and mats HAVE been around for a while. The dang clips and the joint are a pain in the patootie and not worth the cost in my (not so humble, I guess) opinion.
According to the Olfa official website, their largest single mat seems to be 24" x 36". I have this and it works just great.

this would be a much better option in my opinion. Get rid of the clips. The clips are a pain.
