When doing sizes bigger than DDD just go to a 36 peg loom, work all pegs like above, on the single and double letters follow the general guide for D-DD but Decrease your pegs down to 16. Follow DDD when doing tripple cups with 36 peg loom, work all pegs like above and decrease down to 18pegs.
When making a belt using the panel make anywhere from 4-6 panels depending on your hip size using the A cup pattern. Add tassels to the ends for a nice touch. See image as example. If you have bigger hips in the 44-50in range make 6 panels. 
Please feel free to use the photos as examples for costuming you might want to make.
