The only reasonable assumption is that there is no way you can know
how the user is viewing your page.  Despite all the "How to Create a
Really Ugly Web Site in 15 Minutes" books, final layout of a page is
determined by the user's web browser not the page designer.  The best
you can do is offer hints.

I would suggest creating one large version of image and use the size
hints to set the size of the image as a percentage of the browser
size.  For example, with a LRL image you would put width="150%".  This
will show the pair as the full width of the browser, with the extra
image off screen.
