Hi there,
What exactly is "small RON resistance" That depends on a load / driven component, right? The resistance scales inversely with channel width by definition (L/W ratio) so after a certain W, the decrease of RON will be impractical for a given fabrication technology.
You need really high W/L ratio, but L is limited by technology. In my experience, minimum L is used only in digital logic circuits and maybe some on-chip drivers. If you are designing a "mammoth" device, L should be ~ 10% longer than minimum for fabrication reliability and lowered leakage currents.
Widht can reach millimeters, maybe centimeters.... be careful with stray capacitances in that case.
Layout of such a device can be done as a multi-fingered device with bulk strip every 20 microns or so. There is also a waffle layout... I have also seen polySi gate fluted (corrugated) to squeeze big transistors onto smaller area. This, of course, requires special fabrication technology....
So in short... large W/L, minimized L down to reliable technology limit, W up to technology/practical limit...
