Furthermore, even some nearside mirrors are delineated into normal and wide angles by the structure of the mirror as regards shape and angle.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question in my first post. The only way to make the field on vision larger in a mirror is to make its surface convex. In a flat mirror, the image reflected in it always remains the same no matter how near or far away from it you are.
In a flat external mirror, the 'blind spot' is increased, so an extra mirror is advisable.
