Parallel curves

I have a linear double track layout using 26 and 28 ez track curves to create parallel double track. I would like to add one or two more tracks but have hit a wall on radii to use in parallel curves.
Is there another radius  available between 28 and 33 to parallel 28? Or is there a radius below 26 to create a parallel curve?
Suggestions?  Thanks

The next size down from 26" radius is 22". If you want to maintina 2" spacing, and alternative would be someone elses Code 100 24" radus curves on cork roadbed, or flextrack. The next size up from 28" radius is 33.25" radius. Again, Code 100 flextrack on cork would be the way to go if you wanted to go with a 30" radius on the outside.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

This would be a great opportunity to learn how to lay flex track.
