Mark,
Well, if they insist on a spanning image then I'd find four or five of
the images they like then turn joing them together and turn it into a
tiling background image, that way no matter how wide the page gets their
will always be images in the header, then you can fix the logo in the
top left and just have the repeating images run underneath it.
