I've scanned negatives both larger and smaller than the usual 35mm that my scanner has a light for (Which never worked! ) By placing a lightbox on top of them and scanning. The light box is a simple thing used in sewing and art to help trace patterns. Not all that expensive either.

This one is like what my wife has.

This one is small and inexpensive, but they say "bulb" for the light which makes me think it may be a regular one. That might generate too much heat for nitrate.
