I am building a Prusa i3 single frame, but I was wondering if the bed is upgradable from the stock 8x8.

The design will scale up easily, but you'll need to get the frame cut to the new size. I don't know how much extra room is in the single frame version, I built a box frame and enlarged the box a bit so I could fit a 10x10 bed in (though I'm currently only using an 8x8 heated bed)

Ok. Thanks

You may also need longer rails for both the X and Y axis'
