I'm guessing a triangular design. Having one leg 26" and one leg 36" gives you a hypotenuse of about 44", and a total frame perimeter of 106". You'd need an interesting drive train to make this work... 3 wheel swerve?

Of course, more realistically you cut off each corner about 6" in from each side. This would replace 12" of frame perimeter with 8.4 in each corner, for a total savings of about 14", reducing the frame perimeter from 124" to 110". Your drive train might get a little cramped by cutting off the corners, but it's not unrealistic.
