Or failing that, use a short metal gate. It may not look as tidy or fit as well, but it doesn't have to close at right angles to the trailer sides - it still does the job if it ends up going slightly diagonal across the trailer.

I reckon that if I make up a sheep hurdle type panel, sized to fit the space, I'll be able to secure it into the plastic locators using one or two of these spring loaded bolts:

Could be worth considering if you can't find one to buy at a reasonable price?
