The Schaff Webstore lists Mapes International Gold Series Piano Wire in all the sizes you need and more. All the way up to 24 in full and half sizes, plus 25 and 26.

The largest I have is 22.5 at .049". However I have a small amount of metric 22, 22.5, 23 in Puresound SS wire (at least I think I do, as it's at the bottom of a large pile of stuff).

Blaine, you do not know the consequences of leaving out 3 wire gauges, nor does anyone giving you advice, unless you examine the 225 scale in one of the scaling programs. First it tells you what it is, and then it tells you the consequences of making other substitutions, wheresoever they fall.
That said, leaving out 3 of the gauges will likely give you an inferior and uneven result.
Peter's suggestion to order the pre-looped wire set is a good one. If you order the wire reels, prepare to never use some of them ever again. Pretty much the largest size I use is 21, and that rarely. The rest will gather dust.
