Have you tried a paper supplier like Xpedx? Unfortunately, the closest one to Vermont appears to be in Wilmington, MA, but maybe there's a different supplier closer to you. You can order so-called "parent sheets", which are 25x38, and have them cut to order. A printer that can handle 11x17 should also be able to handle A3, which is about 11.7x16.5, e.g., the HP Laserjet 5000/5100 series.
As for spiral binding, A3 would be easily accommodated by two passes through an Akiles Coil-Mac, using 36" coils. Assuming you already have a Coil-Mac and 36" coils, which I highly recommend to anyone binding their own music (you can get a Coil-Mac online for around $300). As you undoubtedly already know, Kinko's is utterly useless for this kind of thing. Alternatively, you could find a commercial printer to do the binding, but it would probably be quite expensive.
