I use (and have frequently tacoed) the 84" Lightform panel and as big as it sounds, it really isn't that big or provide all that much working room on a shoot, but it is a handful in a breeze.
I have some of the Photoflex Litepanels and a lot of their fabrics for them, also Calumet frame fabrics in different sizes. Translucent, gold, white, black, etc.
I have the PVC version of the Photoflex. The tubes are "shock corded" to come apart, like tent poles.
You could take the same approach and either shoock cord or just glue some PVC tubes together to make a sturdier frame. Using your own PVC and standard parts, you could add cross braces, join two panels side-by-side or at 90 degrees, etc. Might be worth a try if you have the time.
I bought some PVC to make frames one time, but as usual never got around to it. Still sitting out in ther garage. I also have something in the basement I was supposed to solder about a year ago. I forget what it is though. Not worth trying to remember, I'll never get to it anyway ....
