It is a common misconception that your grey card has to fill the entire frame. Canon clearly states in the owners manual for the 5dmk2 that the WB source only needs to fill the spot metering circle. This is also the same for many, if not all, of Canon DSLRs.
Only having to fill the spot meter circle hopefully will make your white balancing experience more enjoyable. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
