As the magnitude of the economic collapse became apparent in October, the dollar numbers for the stimulus (along with other dismal numbers) skyrocketed. But, sorting out specifics and priorities couldn't happen until the end-of-last-year numbers were sorted out, and even then it's a huge moving target. I doubt you could just take the old stimulus, multiply by 8-10x, and get something sensible. Of course, I'm sure that you can't just have everyone in Congress throw every wish list in a pot and get "sensible".
