I don't think you can, but if you don't want it to display off the screen then use a script that says:

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><touching[ edge ]
<hide>
<else>
<show>
<end>
<end>

I agree with SciencyScratcher- I'm not sure if it's possible with the standard program. The only way I know of would be to just toy around with the Size effect. If I'm not mistaken, however, sizing works differently in the site's player? Not sure, really- If you don't get the desired look when you upload just advise people to download and play, I guess.

Best of luck, though. Your project sounds like it's going to be quite interesting. 3D unicorns sure are something.

There is a way, but it's pretty limited. If you right-click the stage and click "grab screen region for new sprite" (or something to that effect), you can grab a portion of the screen larger than the costume limit. Unfortunately, you can only go so far as the Scratch window itself, which is effectively limited to being just smaller than your computer screen.

A better way is to use scrolling. Take a look at this and this to get a good idea on how to accomplish this.
