Okay, now we're getting totally away from binding issues, but since you bring it up....
As a conductor, I like my workspace to be comfortably larger than my scores. I always keep a spare baton on my desk, and in rehearsal I'm likely to keep a pencil, some index cards, and maybe a rehearsal schedule or list of spots to hit. I guess you're right that an 11x14 score may just barely fit on one stand (though technically I think it extends slightly past the stand on all three sides), but it doesn't leave me room for any of my other work implements, and so it's a non-starter for me. Two stands side-by-side is a better compromise, if a large desk isn't available.
