Extra Large Event Tiles

This is not a major problem. I'm probably being obsessive-compulsive about this issue, but I'm a perfectionist and I would prefer not to settle for graphics that I don't think look right.

I am building an overworld and there is an event that involves a bridge appearing over a lake. I want a shadow to appear under the bridge at the same time as the bridge appears, but the bridge is too high for the 6x6 event tiles to cover both the bridge and the shadow. Is there some way to create larger event tiles? The largest event tiles in the standard LM are 6x6, I need at least 7x7 or 8x8.

I could try to rework the overworld so that the water level is one level higher, but I'm proud of the overworld that I built and I don't want to rework it if I don't have to. I could build the bridge and the shadow independently of one another, but that activates my OCD as well. The only other way is to create event tiles that are larger than the normal 6x6.
you could try building one tile of the bridge, then the shadow under it, and so on

would probably work best if you turned off the fade effect and set the event speed to incomprehensibly fast but i imagine that wouldn't look quite as good for the rest of the hack

or, if that's still not good enough, you could modify the overworld so that there's a waterfall or another such change in water height specifically around that area so that it does fit in a 6x6 field. i'd really need to see it in order to know if that's a viable option but eh, it's always nice to present all the options
I decided to go and create a waterfall. It doesn't look as nice as I had hoped, but it's at least acceptable. Thanks for the suggestions.
