Resolution wise a good flatbed like the Epson V700 should deliver enough 
data for an A3+ sheet size. Say a true optical resolution of 2000 PPI 
delivered by the scanner is 4400 PPI on the 56x56 mm fil frame. 330x480 
mm is the largest sheet size possible if I recall it correctly. For 
printer driver input there is 746 PPI available in best case, 513 PPI 
available in worst case. Ample enough, leaves some space for more 
cropping too.

Dynamic range could be an issue depending on the density range of the 
B&W negative. Multi exposure in third party drivers helps then, Vuescan, 
Silverfast.
