Sometimes in the lumb cutting area in HD there are sales. Most time it is the a little off sized piece maybe from a wrong cutting. Once I saw at least 100 2'x6'x6 for $20. Since we are not make furnitures we don't care if it 5 feet 8inches ot 6 feet 2 inches! Just have to check regularly.
I would do multiple 12-16 foot long beds. I would not do a 40 foot bed or you'll drive yourself nuts having to walk around it to get to the other side.

If your bed is onle 3 feet or 4 feet wide you can jump over! I remember when I made my first raised bed I was planning to make a 4x6 then I figured If I can extend only 1 feet wider and two feet longer (5x8) I can almost double my planting area. It is a pain to try to reach the middle of the the bed
