Just a thought here - in my experience wide pattern folks are frequently low time students who are needing the extra time to sort out all they need to do before actually touching the wheels to the surface. For this reason, if no other, being on the inside of them in the pattern doesn't seem like a good option. It might even be a good reason to depart the pattern and do a little sight seeing until their lesson is over....
