W5LUA designed a dual band 5.7/10 feed for the offset dish quite some 
time ago. It still works good. Getting bigger gets into problems of 
aiming at 10G but 5.7 should work with a 30" dish with the same aiming 
limits as an 18" dish at 10 GHz. I have observed the few users of larger 
dishes on 10G around me don't find signals as well as I do with my 18" dish.
