Giant velvet mites?

Velvet mites are some of the largest mites in the world, with species in the genus Dinothrombium reaching 12 mm in length (absolutely massive for a mite). What is the largest possible size a velvet mite could get with their current biology? What is the limit? Mouse sized? Tarantula sized? Basketball sized?

*Note - This is not a question for the largest possible arthropod, it is specifically for the largest possible mite.
