Or do you simply make the element larger than the screen width and enable
Modifier.horizontalScrolly

Horologist has a PagerScreen component that combines Accompanist HorizontalPager with Wear Compose PageIndicator. You can steal the code or use the component. https://github.com/google/horologist/blob/450c3da7ed79118d003e5ff1071fbeb339c3268f[…]java/com/google/android/horologist/compose/pager/PagerScreen.kt

You can ignore the over-engineered lifecycle code in PagerScreen, it's only needed if you have Individual page Screens with no reference to the HorizontalPager state (you are reusing a screen that could be top level) and you want to activate scrolling of ScalingLazyColumn etc.
