There are bigger ones: biggl, biggr, Biggl, and Biggr.

Or you can ask LaTeX to figure out the smallest size that will fit
them exactly, by using

\left[    and \right].

Sometimes \left and \right give a size which is technically correct
but visually non-pleasing, though, which is why you can also give the
size manually through bigl, bigr, Bigl, Bigr, biggl, biggr, Biggl, and
Biggr.
