Just for fun as it's mostly speculation, wishful thinking or fantasy. I'm going with Sgt. Pepper's as the MMT songs like "Strawberry Fields" and "I Am The Walrus" would have knocked it out of the ball park.

BOC's first three albums would have made a great triple disc.

Do you mean two albums together or just one album but with more similar songs on it?

Babbacomb Lee by Fairport Convention. Thier only concept album needed a lot more songs to tell the story.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

ELP could have recorded a studio version of Pictures at an Exhibition and combined it with either Trilogy or Brain Salad Surgery.

Genesis: Abacab could easily have been a 65-minute double album with at least 5 songs that were held back by the record company for B-sides and future releases.

Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot could have been combined to make a double since they are very similiar imo and sound like they could have been recorded at the same time.
Close to the Edge could have been a double album. Not sure what else. I guess you could say any great prog single album could have been a double. Also, some of the later Flower Kings albums could be considered doubles if you count the bonus disc.

Jethro Tull's A Passion Play. In fact between the Chateau D'isaster Sessions material (The Big Top, Scenario, Audition, No Rehearsal, etc.) and the songs destined to end up on War Child (Skating Away, Solitaire, Sealion, Bungle In the Jungle), a double album could well be Tull's greatest release.
