Never hanged one of those gaskets as I work on construction equipment so I"m not sure exactly what the problem your having is. That said if the problem is the oil pump sticking down into the pan preventing you from getting the gasket into place (ie-the pump needs to be in the middle of the gasket to get the gasket in place) that problem can usually be handled with no problem. I say usually because I know there are lots of newfangled gaskets on the market nowdays that can"t be cut due to their shape, etc, but assuming you"ve still got the old style, flat type gasket then it"s not a problem. What you do is chose a spot on the gasket that will be easy to get to with the gasket in place on the pan or block, whichever way you plan to put it up. With the place chosen, and using a sharp razor knife so as to leave a clean cut, cut out the shape of a dove tail across the gasket. Once cut you"ll have two ends of the same gasket that will interlock once in place. Doing this will allow you to get the gasket around any obstructions in the center of the pan and also provide a leak proof seal once the pan is tightened up. For extra leak proof assurance you may want to put a little dab of sealer, such as Ultra-Blue, where you make the joint, but to be honest it"s not usually necessary with a good, clean cut joint. Manufacturers do this type of joint, or varients of it, all the time on oversized gaskets without any problems and with a little care in making the cut anybody can do it with good results also.
