You'd need to build an entirely new stage0 system. How would a 15m fairing fit onto the current orbital launch pad?
Not saying it can't be done, just that it's not as simple as just whacking a larger fairing on, there are lots of considerarations to deal with. Perhaps it's worth it for 15m, but then again even a 9m would be a vast improvement from 2.4m
