getoptimalnewcameramatrix function for omndirectional camera?

I am working on stereo rectification of wide FOV fisheye lens. I want to do stereo rectification in latitude and longitude space so stretching at the edges can be avoided. Hence I am using opencv omndir package with RECTIFY_LONGLATI flag for stereo rectification. I am getting good results but the most of the portion of image is cropped. I want to scale the camera matrix such that no region is cropped while stereo rectification. I don't know how to scale the camera matrix keeping epipolar constraint for stereo rectification. I have found functions for estimating new camera matrix in calibration and fisheye module but not in omnidir module.

I tried to scale (double) the focal length in order to check can i get whole image without cropping. I am getting both left and right image without cropping but stereo rectification is disturbed. I know just scaling the focal length will disturb the rectification. Principal point also need to scaled considering distortions coefficients. I don't know how to do this, hence I was searching for function similar to getoptimalnewcameramatrix in omndir package. I will be helpful If anyone can help me with the maths behind scaling camera matrix and keeping epipolar constraint in stereo rectification.

I am attaching small portion of my code, camera calibration output file and results below.
