Does anybody know (and is there a consensus) as to where the largest World
Map can be found?

Natl Geographic offers a world map in 3 sections, listed as "wallpaper". i
can't remember the exact dimensions, but a friend had one in college. i would
guess 8ft x 12ft?
 
unfortunately, it is simply an enlargement of their traditional 4x6 world
map, meaning the text and linewieghts were not specifically designed for
"wallpaper" scale. its legible from 5 feet away. NGS could design a whole new
level of content....but i suppose there would be absolutely no cash return on
that investment.
